A lot of people self-medicate, and will go to extremes to not run out of medicine. Some are naturally low on endorphins, some are coping with PTSD, some are just susceptible to addictive behavior. Instead of focusing on the drugs, we should find ways to help these people live normal lives, and ensure there are legal means for them to cope.
If we spent a little more money on health and mental care, legalized personal drug use, and had doctors monitoring drug use and providing safe alternatives, there would probably be a huge drop in drug related crime, overdose, etc. The war on drugs is not only ineffective, but driving people out of society and into criminal lives.
