I thought the problem with drugs isn't the addiction but the black market.

The people get addicted anyway, but now the money needed to cure them goes where it can help and not to the mob.

I suspect it will be like the lottery money that was supposedly destined for the public schools, and it will just turn into a slush fund the legislature and governor can spend as they please.
