Typically, advocates of universal legalization want to increase spending on rehabilitation, etc., so addicts would actually be able to seek and receive treatment instead of hiding their problems.
- Torgo 10y agoI am in favor of decriminalization of consumption, not of legalization.
- brokenmachine 10y agoDecriminalization of consumption is better than the current situation, but I am in favor of legalization and regulation. It seems kind of hypocritical to me to say it's acceptable (or at least not illegal) for people to consume drugs, but not protect them by giving them any ability to know what it is they're actually taking, because they would still have to buy drugs of unknown strength from shady characters, manufactured in dodgy underground labs from ingredients of unknown origin. Maybe decriminalization of consumption, as well as government testing labs that can identify unknown substances for people? That opens up it's own can of worms, of course. It's a difficult conundrum, but our current system is the worst possible option. Almost anything would be an improvement.
