I'd love to no end if there is a major emphasis on the "rehab" part so the incentives AND disincentives are aligned. Less money flowing? Less need for remediation. More money flowing? More need for remediation. More money than we know how to spend efficiently? Spend it on neglected public infrastructure fixes.
Personally, I worry when "sin tax" money is used to fuel unrelated social programs. The incentives are now inverted. If drug usage goes down and the money flow decreases we're jeopardizing the foundation of other important things. Maybe its better to take the money when/where you can get it and deal with the problem down the road? I dunno.
