Why use drugs at all?

There is a gun on the market already, which is used by some police
departments, which uses electrical currents to stop a criminal.  I
have seen demonstrations of this device, and it seems quite effective.

The general principle behind the gun is as follows:  The "bullet" is
actually a dart type device which is connected to the "barrel" by thin
electrical wire of some sort.  When the gun is fire, the "bullet" lodges
in the victims body and produce a temporarily paralyzing shock.  I have
seen this shock topple very large (6'3" 250) individuals.  The effects
of the shock last long enough so that the individual can be subdued by
the officers, but has no after effects what so ever.

The placement of the "bullet" doesn't much matter and its effects are
almost instantanious. I'm sure there would be some sort of time lapse
for effectiveness with a drug gun (as has been previously mentioned).

Any comments?
