My question is always how much would you supply? If you supply an unlimited amount of drugs, that's not going to do anything positive. If you supply a low amount, the addicts will just supplement that with street drugs and add the supplied drugs on top of their daily usage.
If you're talking about opioids, clean heroin isn't going to make a dent on consumption. Fentanyl is many times stronger than heroin and addicts will actively search it out for that reason. It's not a question of addicts only using fentanyl because they can't afford or find clean heroin. As tolerances build, which happens quickly, the addicts will want the strongest (and by that nature most deadly) drug possible.
