Sweden, the U.K., and Canada all experimented with providing opioids to addicts. The results were disastrous.
There are three ways to eliminate most of the drug use problems in North America.

2.) Arrest all addicts and put them into compulsory long-term drug treatment facilities for detox, counselling and job training. (Two to three years.)
3. Do both at the same time.
