Don't bother with the video, there's very little information aside from the fact that in 2001, personal use of drugs was decriminalised and by 2009 they could see a drop in HIV infections, overdoses, and deaths.

The one number never mentioned is the number of people taken out of useful life by incapacitating habits.

Sorry but that’s just not true. I was there so I know for a fact that the most destructive kind of addicts simply vanished. I'm not going to say there aren’t many high functioning addicts, there might be.

In the late 90s the streets in certain cities were overflowing with addicts (as in walking corpses almost) and that is simply not the case anymore.
