Yes the problem is illegality. As long as mafia can make trillions of this shit nothing will get better.

The solution is not more police.

>no downside for trying out that lifestyle

Is that a joke? you know that the average addict "lifestyle" is literally hell

I'm not talking about the side effects of the drug, just the obstacles and risks associated with going after that kind of life. I'm also not saying the obstacles are good, but rather that we should be a little more careful in removing them without a clear picture of what to do next.
OK... so you have no solution then. Maybe sit down an let someone else try to fix this mess.
the solution is legalisation if that was not clear from my post.
Heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine and even cannabis are mind destroying substances. You can't be seriously proposing the government legalise these things as a solution to homelessness?

People respond to incentives. If you make something more available you will get more of it. Every. Single. Time.
