It's a good thought but "removing privileges" requires enforcement, etc. If you have a sub-culture that is already breaking the law by abusing drugs, is it any more likely that they will voluntarily abide by a "loss of privilege"? As an example, there are incredible statistics about the number of people still driving with suspended or revoked drivers licenses. Unless you go to a total police state with embedded ID chips and constant checkpoints, it's not likely to work in my opinion, and let's be careful what we ask for... :-) |
