# Reads fine here
Financing their own addiction = other people being victims of thier resulting crimes!

# £12k
if we supply them, while we can cure them of their addiction and after that they wouldn't cost us anything?!

# But this "curing" involves a process of weaning-off.
The weaning-off would be best achieved with heroin.
It also requires the drug user to actually want to be weaned off it. Those who don't want to will continue buying heroin, and since it's illegal, they will have to pay the high prices necessary to persuade certain enterprising inviduals to smuggle it into the country stuffed inside dogs and suchlike. I am in favour of the taxpayer paying for it instead, since it would then be semi-legal and much cheaper, due to obviating the need for any smuggling rigmarole.

# Even better, make it legal, but nobody's given me a poll to vote for that.

# Yes,
but financing an illegal addiction is very different to financing a legal one.

Crime would drop if there wasn't the need to buy from dodgy folks who take advantage.
