I would suggest reading up on the Swiss system that hugely reduced a severe heroin problem by treating addiction as a medical problem instead of a criminal problem. Doctors simply administer as much heroin to addicts as they want. It was so successful that now Germany and a couple of other countries have adopted it. Portugal has also had success with decriminalization. There is plenty of evidence out there to support his statement.
