Wait. So you're telling me that selecting people who have little-to-no self-control with drug use, are totally consumed by it... don't get better if you provide free of consequences drugs to them?

I am shocked.

I understand some people started, or keep doing drugs because they felt horrible on a daily basis even before the drugs, and don't care anymore if it kills them. They just want some relief from that, waiting for death.

But you can't enable them. Their lack of impulse control make them a danger to others and themselves.

Their behavior degrades society around them.

Many of them can also recover, and you're keeping them in self-destruction.

Many who wouldn't have fallen so low, now will because you make drug abuse easier.

So forecefully detox them, and maby start adressing the roots of their crippling mental health problems, because a large % of junkies are not just too stupid to live, something broke them (like a lack of meaning in life caused by the downfall of family / cultural cohesion).

Not coincidentally, Red China got their longstanding drug problem under control by fighting their own War on Drugs with the intent to win rather than enrich their own intelligence agency and destroy social cohesion: instant death penalty for dealers, forced rehab for their millions upon millions of addicts, instant death penalty for anyone who relapses, and replacing opium poppies with other crops. They just know damn well from their own history how effective hooking their rivals' peoples to drugs can be.
