This.
Having a regulated, taxed system of distributing drugs, with support systems, anti-addiction programs etc, would be a far more effective way of dealing with the problem.
A vast majority of drug users would no longer have contact with criminals, would receive better, standardised quality, and would therefore have less health issues as well.
Sure, some of the criminals would be forced to take up other crime, but some probably do it because it pays better than a job, remove that, and they might go back on the straight and narrow.
