Lets hear your solution to these "societal issues".
That's it's own topic worthy of discussion, because the causes of drug addiction vary.
But one example would be improving access to professional help for people with psychological disorders. This is a smaller part of the larger problem of access to and cost of healthcare in general in this country, but many people suffering from untreated psychological disorders self medicate with drugs to deal with them and become addicts.
Stopping that cycle before it begins, is a much more effective way to deal with the problem than trying to completely cut off access to the substance of choice for an addict, which we know is next to impossible.
