There is a reason "Just say no to drugs" didn't work. And it didn't work by not acknowledging the reasons people take drugs and trying to fix those issues or at least work with people on those issues.This is the reasoning that got us away from "Just say no to drugs", and more toward, "Here's a clean needle so you can do your Heroine 'safely'".
Taking the hard stance on drugs didn't lower drug use and caused more suffering. Same with sex, taking the hard stance on it doesn't lower sex rates just causes more suffering and unwanted pregnancies.
When the hard stance doesn't work, you have to try something else.
