If someone committed a crime and you sent them on a retreat, everyone would commit crimes. So that may be the purpose for deterring people from committing crimes.

I don't know - the simple fact that we have prisons bursting at the seams with drug users suggests to me that in general, illegality is a poor deterrent.
