# Wellspring: Addictive and psychotropic substance laws
All addictive substances have the property of needing some counselling and guidance program to aid in getting the person off the substance. To that end, we grant all such businesses heavy tax discounts to increase their profit margins and ensure they will always be in abundant supply.

To that end, the `WS` constitution has already granted all such businesses heavy tax discounts to increase their profit margins and ensure they will always be in abundant supply.
The second problem is those psychotropic drugs which increase threats of violence. We make it illegal to go into public while actively under the influence of such a substance.

The penalty for being out in public while inebriated is arrest, and escorting home by the police, or if the police are unable to determine the home domicile of the person, to a holding centre until the person is sober, at which point they are free to leave.
By combining widely available, and cheap counselling services with a policy that discourages people from going out into public while inebriated, we reduce the likelihood of violent 3rd party effects, while also making available paths to weaning oneself off addictive substances. No addictive/psychotropic substance may be made illegal. Special taxes however, may be applied only to those substances which have a tendency to increase the likelihood of violence. The revenue from such taxes shall assist in the maintenance of the detainment centres.
