Of course not, you have issues with alcohol in society. However you can tax it and offset the problems via a monetary intake.

If you are a dealer now, its in your interest to get as many people hooked as possible, then seeing as you control the price you can take advantage of the individual afterwards. You legalise the product you make the dealer redundant, you immediately remove that individual from the streets.

You can then tax the product, control the strength of product, and monitor the individual.

There is always a trade off with regards to treatment, do you deal with the product at its source. Or is it better to deal with the consequences of the product.
