Every time I bring this up people look at me like I am insane for suggesting such a thing.
What people don't think about is the extra societal costs associated with drug addition: thefts/violent crimes, prison costs, unproductive time from seeking the next high, etc. Cutting out the middleman would solve a great deal of these issues, and save the taxpayer money too.
It seems the moral issue of giving "free drugs" to addicts is just too much to bear, unfortunately.
