sorry for being a hard, cold realist but the best solution for any monstermaking drug is to legalize it and let natural attrition do the rest.

Or you can do the exact opposite: impose a swift death penalty on all addicts. China did this with its nasty opium problem. Opium smokers gave up the habit in no time at all. Incidentally Theodore Dalrymple (pen name of Anthony Daniels M.D.) has shown that opioid withdrawal is in most cases “trivial,” no worse than a nasty two- or three-day bout of flu. Of course there’s much more to addiction than the merely physical . . .

It’s pretty much legal in Nashville except for the larger dealers already
People in my youth we called hobos or bums or skid row flock to it

Hard and cold, maybe. Realist? Perhaps in a world where real means that Christianity doesn't exist. The way out of all slavery to vice is Christ. Give people an opportunity to know Him.
