I don't know if they would jump for it or not. It would also introduce the concept (maybe) of consequence free drug use- especially if it is affordable. Even if it does cure the addiction to a drug, who's to say it won't create a culture of people who will go on some sort of weird drug binge, then clean up (consequence free) for their own entertainment? Just a thought, though unlikely.

You could say the same about a cure for lung cancer. I'm sure some people would take up smoking/smoke more because the consequences would be less. But that wouldn't mean a lung cancer cure was bad.

I can see what you mean, but it's not quite the same thing. You don't exactly choose to get lung cancer- you get it, or you don't- smoker or non smoker. I was thinking more along the lines of removal of consequence from a choice (drug use)a person makes in my previous post. But, very true, it doesn't mean that the cure is a bad thing.
