I believe the best model to deal with these hard drugs is legalization with heavy regulation.

Legalization with regulation, education, and free accessible healthcare including mental health.
It decreases overall usage of all drugs and the decreases the crime rate. Addressing the reason people take drugs seems to work better than punishing them for using them. Go figure.
