Anecdote time... Long ago and far away I once had a friend who was a speed addict. (Amphetmines) I liked the guy but he wasn't allowed in my house because he would steal shit to sell to buy speed. So, on the one hand you're not quite wrong. On the other hand, we could have just given him some speed. It's actually pretty cheap. The real problem is whatever happened in his life to make him an addict. Cops and jail do not help with that. (There'a a nice ending to this one: eventually he got clean and has been stable for years now.)
