Drug regulation for sure. But no criminalization for use. Substance prohibitions have always had horrible effects. It’s beyond a shadow of a doubt that criminalizing substance abuse only creates worse methods of consumption. Regulation is highly agreeable. It’s good to provide safe ways for consuming drugs. Especially for addicts.
Not all drugs are created equal, entheogens have provable medical and therapeutic use. Their use should be encouraged for healthy adults with proper education on the matter. A license for use, so to speak. Same for cannabidiols.
Coke, opiate powder and methamphetamine should be tightly regulated, clandestine synthesis should be illegal, but in organic form, coca use should be completely ignored and legal like coffee. You aren’t going to die by chewing coca leaves unless you make yourself like a 10k salad. Alcohol and nicotine are some of the worst drugs and should be highly regulated as today.
Ultimately, it is impossible to control people’s substance use or abuse, and when the grip is too tight on them, you make criminals out of the people, their suffering and automatically create black markets for lumpen proles. People become addicts because they are vulnerable and in need and they will provide their vice on either side of the law. The lowest bar is for the state to provide safe products and contexts for users to reduce harm and encourage healing.
