yeah Serpent brings up a good point, I'm really not too familiar with the economics of it all but it sounds pretty unfeasible in practice.
In theory, however, I think an appropriate caveat would be to have the option of welfare money for living expenses (EBT, food stamps, etc) if drug free, and if positive for hard drugs (class 1? I think, idk) then that money is used for rehab purposes.
it's a tough balance, sympathy for the individual but pragmatism for the nation as a whole.
