Yes. Legalize everything. Remove the restrictions.
Once the initial die-off is over, things will settle down.
The herd needs thinning anyway.

those that abuse drugs or alcohol tend to have mental health issues that need to be addressed. Ridiculous sending them to jail. Even cigarette addiction is more likely in those with mental health problems.

I have no idea what your concept of "legalized" means. Free unregulated use by the general public? Hell no! Regulated and licensed use and manufacture of all drugs under medical supervision and consumer protections, with personal and public safety in mind? Sure.

I don't want abusers to be licensed, this includes alcohol. I don't want people driving or at a party under the influence. I want proper use research and protocols. A licensed person will need to be monitored and periodically evaluated, with a complete history of use. There should be medically supported services for drug use, which you can explore with an expert, and subscribe to a drug plan and use whatever you want, elective or medical neccescity. If you want to do LSD, fine. It should be offered as a medically supervised service.

I will never support 'legal free to use or abuse under self supervision'. There is a cost to society and public that needs to be addressed.

Marijuana should be legal but the rest should not unless you are terminally ill.

What keeps me up at night is thinking what do I need/have to do to make sure my kids won't get caught up in that loop. Every parent environment is different therefore requires different measures. However the ultimate goal is all the same. Keep them away from using drugs.

Along with those calling for its legalization and/or decriminalization, and treat is as a health issue I would like to add a measure proven to be very effective - educated the people, the major factor in the decline of tobacco consumption. No more public advertising, health warnings, hight taxation, higher insurence premium, limited accessibility, etc. All those little nudges that over the years have make people walk away from it

They are already legalized, our opioid pandemic is totally legal, all you need is a trade license from a medical school and belong to any of the pharmaceutical drug cartels. They have the politicians on their pockets, which will ensure you that all competition is outlawed.

We just have a world of screwed up people
that choose drugs. They choose to destroy themselves and others. So therefore make themselves mental. Have at it and destroy yourself.

No.
Maybe safe ones decriminalised.
Heroin, meth and such, should we make it easier for people to get? Give the impression that it is not so bad?

Yes, they should. Other countries that have done it have lower use. Y'all can Google it if you want to know more.

Yes. Yes, they should. A lot of the crime that results because of drugs stem directly from their illegality. But it'll never happen because too many republicans hate black and brown people too much.

Legalize, tax, and regulate.

As an adult, I have liberty, meaning: I own myself. I can do to myself whatever I want. This includes taking drugs of any kind. Drug laws tell us that the government knows what is better for us than us. This comes straight from Judeo- Christian paternalism. All drug laws are morally suspect. If you sit on a jury in a drug case that does not involve minors, consider jury nullification. Google it.

Yes they should

No. And not the way dope is being legalized still creating black markets due to high prices and taxes....people should be free to grow their own BUT NEVER SELL DOPE that may be unsafe to the buyer

Absulutely!

Yes. Because all you really need when you are sick, is a copy of the Physicians' Pharmacopia, like doctors use. You could then look up the medicines you need to take, and go down to the drug store and buy them. No "prescription" (or physician) needed!

No.Most of them should be strictly controlled... Inc. Alcohol.

Absolutely not. Do you really want your kids bus driver to whip out a crack pipe on the job?

No.

Not the addictive drugs.

My quick answer is yes to all drugs that can be foraged, grown or transformed easily at home. When you really think about it, mind altering drugs are only expensive because of the underground illegal trade of it. Most source plants for drugs are as cheap as growing your own fruits and vegetables even cheaper when the material can be foraged. I would agree that the practice of chewing coca leaves or steeping it as tea should be legal but not a meth-lab for example. According to OP examples above canabis can be legal but not pure cocaine or heroin according to the logic I propose. Opium would be legal in it's raw resin form though.

There is a way to legalise it So, that in 2 generation there will be no users.

If we are actually free individuals yes. We are not, not even close.

I guess legalize it. Most people won't use it as much if it is legal.
