Because you are leaving the underlying infrastructure(pushers etc) there for them to fall back into their old ways/re-offend. Giving the stuff away in safe controlled enviroments removes the infrastucture as there is no money there to pay for it. Whats the point of selling something that there is no market for anymore.

I commented that we should offer them rehab. I believe that there is no point in 'forcing' people through rehab as they need to admit their problem and want to deal with it before it can be of any use. Just like alcoholics need to admit their problem before they can be helped.
