The lawmaker is proposing that the citizens of California buy heroin to give to addicts with the assistance of , I'm assuming, medical people. Simply giving people heroin is not how you get people off the drug.
It may reduce needle borne diseases and overdoses (among addicts who choose to go there), but it's not going to make a dent in an an addiction epidemic.

Correct. This is the equivalent of saying if you're going to drive drunk the least we can do is give you a police escort so when you crash we have a better chance of saving you.
It doesn't address the real issue at the heart of these people's problems.

I'm very socially liberal and I have to agree.
We need to think bigger. It all starts with pharmaceuticals.
