What would be the approach you're describing? I'd love some bullet-points and I'd be happy to take them into consideration.

The only way to implement what you're describing I can see is arresting people and putting them in prison on non-violent drug offences.

That brings with it it's own set of problems.

Decriminalization of drug addiction is a step I'm very much hoping to see at some point in my lifetime.
