By treating addicted users as criminals instead of people in need of help, they don’t get the help they need and it creates a taboo around the issue, just like it was a few years ago for mental health or sexual orientation.
At the strict minimum, decriminalize and controlled access is a good stop gap.
My point still stand because I agree with OP’s post.
People already do loads of drug and prohibition never stopped that since the dawn of time.
If the government give access to safe and clean drugs, they can make tax revenue from the sale of the drugs, and put in place rehab programs where addicts are not treated like criminal.
Thus my point, the strict minimum should be decriminalization of users, with a way to provide them with clean and safe drugs.
Poisonings and overdoses skyrocket.
Edit: Not to mention antibiotic resistance.
Because right now everything is dandy, right?

I was talking to OP’s opinion, which is different from yours.

Decriminalization, controlled access, and treating people like humans instead of criminals is an excellent idea.
Global complete legalization of all drugs is not.
What are you talking about?
In case you weren’t able to see OP’s post.
And those people get proper medical care instead of revolving door prisons.
If drugs are produced with the same requirements as pharmaceuticals poisonings go down massively. That is usually due to it being cut with other shit.
