A bit of a grey area. If someone is addicted to prescription drugs in some cases as a result of an injury of some sort. Which should be treated as a health issue. But if someone is addicted to illegal drugs than that should be a criminal issue. Since they are illegal.

While I agree that it is a health issue more than a criminal issue, the problem is that addicts didn't start out as addicts. It was their decision to begin using drugs, so the problem lies at starting, not at continuous usage, as drugs can be seriously harmful for the mind and body.
