This is a great article that causes me to challenge some of my own assumptions. I have also been generally supportive of decriminilization of drugs because of the damage done with our prohibition. But the problems with opiods show me that if heroin was easily available it really could lead to too much use. So I think the problem that first needs to be addressed is that drug legalization needs to go through a non-legisltive process. If we have true techocrats (doctors & scientists) deciding what drug policies were, it would be much harder for drug companies like beer producers to force laws that they like. But we do live in that world of lobbying, so what's the thing to do to help control opiod use with more drug decriminalization? I do not know.
