    Legalize it. War on drugs is stupid and will never be “won”

      They did weed already. Gotta wait a bit to prove that it doesnt cause any issues. Then you can move on to other drugs in a few years.

        Wasn’t it Switzerland that legalized heroin and offered medical-grade heroin to junkies in proper clean environments and with medical personell standing by in case of an OD, and saw drug use plummet?

          As in many countries I believe the use is legal, but not distribution. The ones seeking for the government drug got it somewhere else in the first place

            Switzerland has a program where they specifically give clean heroin to addicts. This is different from consumption spaces, where addicts can bring their own drugs, have access to clean use material like syringes and medical staff is present to help in an emergency. IIRC. Switzerland also spearheaded such consumption spaces.

              I know that, what I mean is. If the user got addicted they got by using illegal drugs no government’s. So distribution is still illegal

        Cocaine is not harmless and will absolutely cause issues. But this stupid war on drugs, them being mixed with shit and the criminalisation cause more of them I guess

          I know way too many people who completely fried their brain with weed. Its sad to see whenever people cant control their consumption, be it cocaine, weed, alcohol, sugar, food…

            But their already shitty situation will not be made worse by prosecution and imprisonment, if it is legalized.

            Weed is safer than alcohol and cocaine though. Doesn’t mean it’s harmless

            You get people in the ED with Cocaine and Alcohol all the time.

            You can Internet and Social Media to that list too

        Well, a legalized coca plant will give you coca leaves. Chew them and you get the effect of a good toothbrush and a morning coffee. Combined.

        Cocaine on the other hand… I’m not so sure. But I’m also more in the camp of forbidding alcohol, so…
