I have argued for many years that Westminster's refusal to allow Scotland to follow other European countries on more positive approaches to handling drug addiction has been a key contributor to a long standing problem - one rooted in poverty. But at the same time there needs to be a dual track and there is little doubt that the SNP dropped the ball on drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
