I have always said that the largest failing of the so called "war" on drugs was the lack of treatment centers, in almost all cases anyone who has the desire to quit whichever drug of choice they use needs to be able to get into a treatment center right now, not next week or next month but right now. Even a short delay will weaken the desire to quit. So they did the right thing , no charges and get him a shot at the help he needs.
