Why not both?

I'm happy for my taxes to protect me and my children through treatment where appropriate or incarceration.

If a person makes the deliberate, conscious decision to use drugs that have ill effects or addictive qualities then they should be responsible for themselves.
It should not be the responsibility of the government to nanny adults.

I seriously doubt that. Bribes can get you what you want.
As to this premise if you're looking at the money alone, it's a toss up. You're still paying to house people. You might get some that get something from rehab. Does that offset the cost? There's only so many beds. They'll always be full.

Jailing anyone for simply using drugs is a foolish and idiotic move brought about by any and all governments.
If we can't even self-determine what we can put into our own bodies or do to our own bodies, then how free is any society?
If euthanasia/assisted suicide is legal, then why aren't drugs legal?
