Junkies gonna junk. I think government could protect its citizens by segregating the hopelessly addicted, with their associated destructive behavior, from the general population. YMMV

There is no Original Sin. Man is not naturally destructive. Man chooses reason or evasion.
You evade the historical destructiveness of govt power,vastly more than criminals. Platos philosopher-king is one of the bloodiest ideas in history. Govt must be limited to protecting individual rights or it will become their violator. Addicts want to be left alone and with vastly lowered drug prices from extending property rights to drugs, they would have no need to steal. Further, the respect for mans mind which is rights, should be extended to education. Children need to learn adult thinking. In the US, Progressive education, since 1920, has decreasingly taught children to think like adults. Our elections are now almost empty of rational principles or of any principles. Our politics is increasingly short range,intellectually trapped in each moments crisis and with more govt as the short-range solution. This Pragmatism is also the basis of Progressive education. Its creator, John Dewey, explicitly rejected knowledge and advocated society as the purpose of education.
