Addicts need to be able to obtain their daily fix in the relatively safe form of about two liters of opiate solution.

In order to buy the bottles, the addict should have to register with the E-Verify system so employers can avoid hiring people that would be at risk or place others at risk.

The strength of the solution should be based on hospital testing.

The world didn’t come to an end when Bob and James tied the knot. What a nice rabbit you have there, Mr. Stewart.

Get rid of all kinds of welfare, including govt funding/subsidizing of healthcare, and the drug problem will be cut in half without having to enforce it. As will other unhealthy behaviors like obesity and STDs, etc.

Most people will learn from the natural consequences of their actions (i.e. paying higher medical costs/insurance premiums or lower life experience) and change their behaviors. Some will see what happens to their friends and not go down the rabbit hole their friends did.

That's why during the Great Depression the birth rates dropped (people couldn't afford to raise tons of kids) without abortion being a thing or tons of birth control options. Today, conversely, we have tons of "accidental pregnancies" in a world in which either the baby gets aborted (not the parents who made the decision to have sex) or the taxpayers pay for raising the kid through welfare. We've removed the natural consequences of promiscuity from the people who choose to engage in such, and they no longer learn to lessen that behavior.

Likewise, before welfare there were a higher proportion of substance addicts who were "functioning alcoholics" and such. In other words, they'd engage in their play but only up to a point where they didn't lose their jobs. That's because there was no safety net (probably better called "stupid insurance") like we have today.
