So, basically Free Drugs for Everyone is your plan? That doesn't seem to offer a solution to the waste of human potential. Why not include rehab and counseling to break the loop of drug addiction? Then you've helped the addict as well as the business owner.

Counselling and rehab is required in the long term, but it's a process to get people into that.

The advantage of prescribed safe supply is that drug users are now interacting with the medical system and this is a touch point where medical professionals can interact with drug users directly and divert people that are ready for counseling and rehab to those options.
