Just give them the drugs, just like we give them food and shelter. I believe studies have proven free drugs reduces assorted crime.

Couldn’t agree more, the cost of supplying the drugs is far less than the negative impacts on society. Way too many thefts, robberies and other violent crime committed by people simply trying to feed their addiction and not be dope sick. Not to mention, when they inevitably get caught they are further marginalized. I would like to see more social housing for addicts, more safe injection and needle exchange programs and more outreach with the aim of detox/treatment.
