Jail would be a mild improvement in his life, but Artie should not be jailed; he is going to die in order to be an example to the world.
I take from it now what Dr. Peterson shares. Artie is in Hell. Whether or not you believe in a "traditional", religious external Hell (Peterson doesn't), the Hell we put ourselves in is just as bad. Artie's tortured mind has led him to abandon all that's meaningful and all that's responsible, and this is the result.
You barely need drugs to accomplish this. The drugs have made it simpler, and destroyed his septum, but he would have slowly destroyed the rest of his life in any other direction he chose.
