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.
Because right now everything is dandy, right?
