Yeah, but isn't it jusy easy, not to mention a nice vote-earner, to point to the junkies & drunks and say, "It's all their fault, let's start with them then" when the real demons of society are the suits implementing these half-baked Crusades anyway?
And I'd take issue with your point about people forking out on what they "don't need". Clearly, if it gets to a dependency - not a state I'd wish on anyone - then they do 'need' these things to an extent. And, if it is a dependency then price means fuck all. Why not sell a few subs n tanks and address these addictions and the social problems behind them instead of simply saying "We're gonna cut off your supply you losers".
