Legalization benefits addicts in other ways - like safer environments for consumption[0]. Addicts that are presently shooting up in basements and bathroom stalls and under bridges can go to a place where they can receive an injection of a known dosage under supervision of medical professionals.

Fighting the crime and fighting overdoses, equally destructive problems to addiction, are much simpler fixes: legalize it.
