What about suppliers? Would you help rather than punish them if they had a drugs problem themselves?

I would only offer no criminal charges with possession of small amounts, any other crime is punishable regardless if they where a drug user or not, however the drug user would be offered hard core rehab, this to them would be worse than prison and in the long run could aid society.

No, addiction make them rob there own children and mothers punishment, ie prison is just part of the game.
Punishment for drink driving is you loose your licence and could face jail, how many do you think get done in a year? should this also be made tougher?
