I think addicts are people who make really poor choices but Nanny government hasn't solved any problems even while taking away the freedoms of the reponsible people.
It all boils down to the choice of freedom and responsibilty for one's acts versus government control.
We are on opposite sides of the fence.
How many people are killed by DUI accidents? How many families are destroyed by alcoholics? That is my point - the nature of the problem changes with legalization.
