I don't see that as a solution to the problem in whole. Whilst yes, it eliminates drug crime in some aspects, illegal sales will still happen, people could rob stores for it either because of the money or because they cant afford otherwise and still, there's issues with ODs.
Granted I'm picking out point but still, never liked nor supported, still don't and never shall.
