No.
Arresting them will just cost us all more money in the long run. They'll be put into a system designed around recidivism. They don't try and help these people in US prisons, they want the cheap labor.
If you think the solution to drug use is to put them in prison where drugs are just as common, then you're part of the reason we've ended up in this situation.

Either way the California way its the worst one cause they spend the most and get almost nothing.
