Illegal drug proposal?

We are loosing the drug war. More drug busts causes price of drugs to go up which in turn entices more people to peddle drugs. We are fighting the supply demand laws. The drug addicts will steal, prostitute themselves or do whatever to get another fix. What we need is a method to drive down the price of drugs, which would cause drug peddlers to be less interested in the risk of jail time for lower profits. The drug addict should be treated as a medical problem. The first step in resolving this problem is to identify those addicted. Use our tax dollars to ask the addicted to identify themselves? Why would they do that? After we get a database maintained by a Government organization (like the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)), then we set control the addict by requiring them to attend meetings (like the AAA) and supply free drugs to the addict as prescribed and controlled by the doctor. The DEA or other Government agency could pass a controlled amount drugs at no cost to the abuser. The amount of these drugs will be decreased until the abuser has control over his life. If the abuser does not follow the program them he goes back to jail. The idea is to get the abuser so that he is not so dependent on drugs and he has some control over his life and to also drive down the cost of drugs on the street so that drug cartels will make nothing and at the same time prosecute them. This will make peddling drugs not feasible because without profit and a penalty, it will not be feasible or practical. The demand for illegal drugs will be diminished so much the drug peddler will go out of business over time. It will tend to take the profit out of illegal drugs. Drug violence will also diminish over time. Non-violent prisoners jailed because of drugs can be freed on the condition that they participate in the controlled DEA drug program. Because drug addicts are no longer stealing to control their habit, a lot of crimes will also decrease and make it a little better for us all.

This simple idea saves billions of dollars and thousands of lives, so why not? Lets be smart and have not only a life but also a better life for everyone.
