Idealistic thinking isn't realistic thinking. The fact of the matter is, those addicted to hard drugs have to want to give them up, and many don't. Nobody actively goes into life WANTING to start using hard drugs. Providing a safe place to use and a safe way to use helps those who are either too physically or mentally addicted to their drugs of choice do so, provides them with the help they need on the spot if they chose to try and quit, and keeps them away from those they may influence directly or indirectly to use as well. Isolation in this case is one of the best forms of education. Not the ONLY one, obviously, but isolating usage and teaching young people not to use is the most realistic of ideal options. It's worked wonders with cigarettes in the past five to seven years with banning open smoking and those cringey but effective orange banner ads.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
