Isn't it time to declare economic warfare against the sleazy back alley immoral pushers? Take their profit motive away from them! Force them to find other means of support!

What are you thinking "Worked" then? Free access to drugs the vast majority of people had no experience or understanding of? No, that didn't "Work", it was simply a logistical problem.
