Drug addiction is a personal curse but if drugs were cheap there would be no need to resort to crime to get them and the consequences would be much less extended to society than the consequences of drug prohibition.

Addiction Feedback: Drug Addiction - Endangerment and Burden to Society
Addiction Feedback: Who cares? Let’s get high.
Addiction Feedback: Both are not evils. Drug addiction is not an evil it is a problem. If drug prohibition is lifted then prices come down and every1 will be able to buy ,now only those with enough money can get it. In turn if prohibition is lifted and people get it freely then more people get addicted and demand increases resulting in prices rising and people who are addicted and cannot buy them resort to violence, only then there will be more drug related violence than now. Drug related violence increases if prohibition is lifted.
Addiction Feedback: I believe the greater issue is prohibition. Whatever the intention of legislating what substances people can or cannot use, the primary affect is the denial of choice. Most of it is meant well, but it still amounts to the limitation of peoples rights. Most now illegal drugs were at one point legal and in common usage. For them, it wasn’t their effects on people that was their downfall, it was that their usage was considered sinful or distasteful.
