I like this idea better than any of the ideas I've come up with or have heard from others. I think this is something that could accompany full blown legalization, as a few people have pointed out(and I agree) that some drugs are more likely to have a person react outwardly(heroin, meth, pcp) as opposed to something like cannabis. Could you imagine being able to convince your great aunt who has back pain to head down to the local safe space to try out a small chunk of a cannabis brownie? You could rent a room with a tv and some movies/video games/board games and just let it ride out. Once she realizes how much she can take safely and how she feels on the drug, she can purchase some from the dispensary around the corner and confidently enjoy herself when she'd like to at home by herself. I'm not familiar with the effects of more serious drugs as I haven't had any interest in trying them but I imagine there are similar things you could do for a person who wanted to try them or who was addicted. I'm sure there's scientific and unscientific ways of calming someone who has lost touch with themselves on different substances. We could do so much for each other if we are to embrace the fact that humans have the propensity to ingest substances to directly impact our state of consciousness. Whether it's for fun or to escape, it's a reality of the human condition that we can't ignore for much longer. What we're doing in response to this behavior is extremely damaging to our world and our kind.
