Rehab isn't the only expense. Hospitals get clogged with hard drug ODs. Sharing needles leads to infections. Most of these end up in taxpayer-funded health care facilities, and their numbers will shoot up (no pun intended) if drugs get legalized.

Once again, the draw of legalization is decreasing government spending. Unless I can be certain that government spending will actually drop as a result of legalization, I have zero reason to support it. Therefore, get government out of the health care business first.

Ummm, I think this article was about legalizing pot, not hard drugs.

Have you really give any thoughts to the matter? If legalized, no more problem with sharing needles! Some standards will be implemented and people won't have to hide in disaffected buildings to do their thing... Plus, OD are oftenly attached to bad products (too potent or foreign chemicals laced to the product...) regulating those drugs would put a certain standard on the quality of the product...
