Detox may seem like the ideal solution, but it is not always realistic and workable.The main problem is the poorest, most hard core users who the government cannot simply arrest and remove from the streets.As hard as it may be to face, people in our society have the right to live as they please,  even if that means they are harming themselves and costing taxpayers.The logistics and expense of rounding up addicts and forcing them into detox would overwhelm the government and flat out criminalization simply does not work.For now, the only viable solution is to make safer drugs available in a safer setting.It will save more lives and cost less tax money than trying to enforce a form of prohibition.
