The Interdiction on drugs, resulting in bigger, more aggressive law enforcement, the sheer weight of court cases, overcrowded prisons, etc etc etc is the problem. Stemming from our culture that thinks "someone" should be telling others how to live.
Most heroin addicts, for example, if given methadone, can lead full productive (tax-paying!) lives. So we pay to hunt them down and pay to imprison them for an addictive Disease. In less punitive countries, there is no "drug problem" as we know it!
