Putting substances into your own body should not be illegal, regardless of the substance.  We would do a lot better if we focused on education, addiction, and rehab than focusing on prohibition.</text></comment>

Accepting that and coming up with alternative solutions like just giving them their drugs in controlled environments can be far cheaper for society.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s the same as prostitution, it will always exist. Either underground or above ground.</text></comment>
