>Addiction is a dangerous disease and we should protect everyone from falling into that trap and harming themselves and others around them.

Addiction isn't some disease that can strike randomly, the science shows that people who are already unhappy/unsatisfied/deprived are much more likely to succumb to addiction. Addressing the societal problems behind that would go a long way towards eliminating problematic addiction, and conversely banning all narcotic substances wouldn't stop those people from finding other ways to harm themselves, like alcohol, gambling or overeating to fill the emptiness inside.

I'm sorry, but we're never going to fix unhappiness. Nor eliminate addiction entirely. Making it difficult to access the most dangerous, addictive drugs is the only practical method of harm reduction for drug users. I don't see dead people on the sidewalks as a result of their porn addiction.
