They've tried that in England. What they found was the addicts would need or desire more than what was provided. They would end up dealing at the front of the month or week to pay for the extra they borrowed the month/week before. The obvious solution from there would be to increase access to the government product but, health care professionals had a problem constantly increasing supply. Something about "doing no harm".
Drug addiction is progressive. A drug addict will need progressively more until they reach a point where every new high runs the risk of causing death. Do you really think the government should be involved in that process?
