I am in favour of effective programs designed to limit, or eliminate
drug use. The problem is, making these things illegal and using the
criminal justice system as the tool has proven to be a complete and
utter failure. All it has done is fund gangs and other criminal
enterprises.

The money now spent on enforcement of unenforceable laws would be
better spent on medical treatment and effective education programs.

Or just supporting the habit. Heroin users will outgrow the need in about 20
years and can live productive lives if they have cheap safe access.
Smokers don't have such luck.
