The War On Drugs has been lost. Sending people to prison for being unable to eliminate their addiction only makes life for them & their families worse. Then they get out with a criminal record, can't get work, and turn to crime to support their habit, costing you more. I would rather see a safe place for addicts to shoot up than have Peabody Creek filled with used syringes. At least then the addicts wouldn't be sharing needles, spreading disease (costing you more when they go to the ER) & could access help overcoming their addiction. 
We've been punishing drug users for generations, and it hasn't worked & has made things worse. Why not try Jesus's commandment to love our neighbor as ourself? He said we MUST love EVEN our ENEMIES or we'll NOT see heaven. Why not take that commandment seriously, oh pious, authoritarian Christians? You're choosing to go to Hell.
