Give them free drugs.

It's overall cheaper. It's safer for him and you. Reduces crime, which saves money on police.

And if drugs are cheap to most, and free to some, there's no huge profit to be made by illegally selling them. Thus, no gun fights over distribution spots on the streets.

The US does this now if you meet maximum income requirements.

The problem is the people with free drugs selling them to people that cannot obtain them free.
