But that wouldn't work, right? All the things that druggies want to do require someone who isn't on drugs to act like an adult to administer it. That's the flaw behind libertarian attempts, for example, to legalize drugs. Someone still has to stay sober, to pick their lovely, stinky, stoned bodies out of the gutter.
Not really. That's what gov't said about smoking, that taxes would be used to defer the medical costs. Well, they found planty of other social programs to spend the money on.
