drugs are not evil & eliminating addiction isn't the endpoint of the universe
Having easy access to safe places to get drugs literally prevents and reduces addiction. The crack dealer doesn't care about you, just your money, but a properly staffed clinic that doesn't condemn you will also have easy access to resources to get clean. Going cold turkey is literally dangerous, and having medical care to help you ease through it is essential; a hell of a lot of addicts literally can't go clean without either dying or going to jail, so instead they stay addicted. And that's not even mentioning how drug addiction is almost always just self medicating for other very real issues, or how no one seems to be nearly this judgemental about tobacco and alcohol despite both being drugs that are often fairly dangerous.
Just let people have the pain meds and antidepressants that work for them.
