I know this is an old drum to beat but drug addiction isn't a criminal problem but health problem. In that respect it I believe it should be treated that way - teh social stigma attached to drug use and/or addiction i reckon exacerbates the problems for those affected... having to mix with criminals to get a fix puts people in a compromising position and may push people towards crime to feed the habit rather than to look for legal ways to live with addiction - ideally helping them give it up. Perhaps this a optimistic view of drug related crime and culture in the country but it seems a more rational way of dealing with a epidemic that ostracising needy people. In that sense i reckon that the study is a good idea - if it allows people to accept drug abuse in people other than kate moss's skinny lover!
