given that addictions still exist even for the most illicit drugs, I don't see that correlation.

enforcement is significantly less 'a joke' for heroin and cocaine, yet addicts still exist for the products.

also : is incarceration/penal-justice really the desired outcome here? Is the punchline here : "Would you rather be surrounded by ex-convicts or addicts?"

Anecdotally, enforcement is a joke for cocaine too. I know several people who use it recreationally, sometimes to slightly disturbing excess, and none have ever been in any legal trouble for it.
