It all sounds pretty reasonable after giving some thoughts aye? BUT!
How would you distinguish between existing addicts from new ones? Ok I am not a medical genius but it should involve some sort of tests right? Whos going to manage the expenses? The federal of state government? Good luck sorting that out. Besides, having free drugs available reduces the financial burdens of drug addicts, and this means they can sustain their drug intake for a longer period. Think half government funded drug addiction.
They are addicted to a reason, if they can risk being imprisoned by commiting drug-related offenses, (correct me if I am wrong, but it should be robbery of some sort right?) whats stopping them from commiting such crimes after government funded drug centres stop giving them supplies? (Its GOT to step down/stop free drug supplies as a means for rehabilitation right?)
In addition most drug addicts would be pretty much jobless and endure all sorts of social problems. Sometimes one need more than just the will to quit something for good.
IMO a better alternative is to focus on forced rehabilitation, imprisoned them in some remote place, flush out the toxins and assign them jobs after rehab so they can get their life going again. But I imagine that wouldbe a VERY VERY expensive maneuver =(
The most effective way to eradicate any problem is always prevention, although I aint exactly sure how to carry that out. Is it possible to medically induce the effects of extreme drug addiction without actually being addicted? Then force everyone through that! mwahahaha!
