The best way to kill demand is to let the junkies overdose then leave them to die. They're never going to get clean in significant numbers. It would help with the crime problem as well. Then you just have to start executing drug dealers like Trump suggested to keep them from creating more addicts.
Unfortunately we are importing all the addicts from around the country / Canada / Central America into Portland due to these laws.
So no, they won't kill themselves off, they'll just be replaced by more dangerous addicts.
Duterte had the right idea. And it continues to be hilarious how many people "condemn" him for it, while he is completely unrepentant about it all and can cite the massive amount of druggies, drugs and money that his program was successful in taking care of.
I would have no issues putting in laws that make all drugs legal to own and consume at people's leisure - if we make it illegal to resuscitate overdoses.
The mad scientist in me jumps in glee at the idea of finding out what kind of bottleneck that would produce.
