Are we willing to do this? Is it proper? It's certainly cheaper than
what we're doing now...

Free drugs! Heavens, the cops aren't going to allow that to happen. Half
of them would become unemployed.

That in itself might be a good enough reason to give it a shot. Not only
cops, though. Whole armies involved in the war on drugs. Shrinks. Doctors
who pronounce the addict cured when his insurance runs out, and all the
auxiliary personnel who work for them. Jailers.
