Red herring and strawman.
The simple fact is most hard drugs have been scientificly proven to cause dependency, and that is what most people mean when they use the term addiction. Do you have a point here beyond sementics?

it is no different then alcohol. Some people will can have a few drinks and not be addicted and some will be addicted after the first drink. As for indirect effect form alcohol abuse, we got laws for that. If you drink and drive you lose your license.
Prohibation for Alcohol in the 1920's didn't work
War on Drugs in the last 30 years hasn't work either.
Legalize, Tax it and Regulate it.
