There is no good answer to the WoD, but since our current approach has failed legalization is a reasonable alternative. I do fear that lowering drug costs in an already dysfunctional inner-city environment will expand the addiction problem, even if it better addresses the violence. Just like what cities find out when they subsidize homelessness.
Behavior is downstream from values that are best learned at home, whether it is crime, addiction, achievement, or anything else. So it has to start with reaching inner city kids as we've discussed in this thread. I agree with E.W.R. that there has to be more than vouchers to give kids hope, so a step 2 of a structured training and education program would also be needed. My only point is that vouchers are step 1.
The question is how does the black community and the rest of the electorate come to demand vouchers?
