We aren't talking of unlimited supply here anyway that would kill them and remove teh problem wouldn't it? We have suffered illegal supply of drugs since well before Queen Victoria and have never stopped it yet, what makes anyone think we will ever stop it using the methods we are currently? I don't see it working and obviously teh number of addicts proves that we can't stop it. lets stop burying our heads in the sand safe in teh knowledge we are doing something. that something doesn't work, we need a new answer.

You may 'get them off' cold turkey and teh minute you release them they will be back to their old habit, what use is that to anyone. You wouldn't save a penny of NHS money.
