If this is supposed to be used as harm reduction and therapy then it should be prescribed and monitored by medical professionals and not advertised on social media platforms.

This article is about Britain.

This is a laughably simplistic view.

Harm-reduction approaches are frequently of dubious value (read the studies, the evidence isn't strong), and often advocated by people who have a vested interest in normalising the behaviour. See Carl Hart who is an open heroin addict, or Terence McKenna who was a delusional shroom-head who performed no research of value. Do you really think that people like Hart or McKenna should be empowered to "reform" substance abusers?

Therapy can be an aid, but just going to therapy doesn't fix anything, and certainly doesn't stop substance abuse.

Unless someone has an internal motivation to quit, they won't and we can't mind control them to do so. Interestingly enough, studies actually do show that jail time does provide a motivator to quit. This is why US drug courts combine it with mandatory rehab and halfway houses, it's actually fairly effective. Much more so than, "pwease go to thewapy!"
