If the government is serious about crime and substance overuse it must abandon the policy of arbitrary drug prohibition.

Did anyone watch the documentary on ABC1 about Jack Charles. If we were a civilized society rather than the stick weilding Calvinists we are (well KRudd and the Mad Monk are), then Jack would have been put on a prescription heroin programme and would have led a much more dignified life, he wouldn't have had to resort to burglary or ripping off his friends, he would not have done the time in prison, and as the findings of the recent North American Opiate Medication Initiative study infer, he could have been weened of heroin gradually (under proper medical supervision) rather than having resort to that ugly and poisonous methadone (I known people who have been doing the 'done for 10+ years)- go to http://www.naomistudy.ca/ to have a look.
Compassion is the answer, many of us will and do use drugs, it's what we 'ignorant apes' have been doing for millennia, so why all the fuss.
(Tangent) Is it because Mexicans and African Americans were the main pot smokers in the early C20th when the Yanks made it illegal, is it because "degenerat Orientals" smoked opium. At least we won't have to spend eternity with Calvin and the other 143,999 Elect.
