My heart goes out to anyone who is addicted to drugs, legal or illegal. And to their families, as well. Bad stuff, and no one yet has the answer. Of course if we defunded a couple of military programs we could fund decent research into handling addictions, plus provide the facilities and staff to make it work. But instead we build fighters that no one wants, and build spare engines for them that will never be uncrated.One of the things the Feds have done through the decades, with great success, is in line with your goals, and could easily be expanded to deal with other problems. You speak of the states competing... you will be pleased to learn that already is happening. The highway program is an excellent example. There are federally funded pilot projects, experiments, and research going on in State Transportation Departments and state colleges all over the US. Some succeed, some fail, but the best ides are expanded and eventually adopted nation wide. Those yellow barrels we see in front of every bridge abutment are there because of years of experiments around the nation to find ways to lower highway deaths.The feds are really quite good at funding and monitoring the results of all kinds of competing ideas at the state's level.
