If number of addicts increases, it can effect economy also. Unproductivite citizens can become a problem for others too.

Neither of which equal the damage caused to society by anti-drug laws, with the inevitable rise of violent crime and corruption that always arises. And I don't think removing personal responsibility for ones choices and actions is particularly good for society either.

Totally agree, we will not have with whom to work and at the same time, we will be focused on the addicted people in order to help them somehow. I know what means to live with a person who is addicted. My ex was drug-addicted and I think that it was the worst period of my life. I noticed his addiction only after 4 or 5 months. As soon that I find out about this I tried to help him but the only thing that I was able to do was to find the right rehab center for body and mind care would help him. As I know till today he is helping the specialists from there and serve as an example to the others.
