I think the approach to decriminalization and possible legalization should always contain a means to get addicts off of the drugs which probably means it won't happen because that would likely require some form of single payer system (probably eclipsing Medicaid and Medicare along the way). The fact single payer healthcare is a bad word in both parties means this approach won't ever happen at least not with the current political climate.
