I think first of all, possession of all drugs should be legalized. Secondly, we need state controlled entities that are allowed to sell drugs. This tackles a number of problems: Better youth protection: a dealer doesn't care if you are 18 or not Consumer protection: clean substances without dangerous cutting agents will prevent health issues and accidental overdoses No more black market: as long as the legal substances aren't too expensive, a legalisation will close the black market for drugs since it is no longer economic to sell them illegally. (This might also take a huge hit on the finances of organised crime and terrorist organisations) More money for helping addicts and _neutral_ drug education: when taxing the sells, the money can be used to treat addiction. Further the legalisation might change society's point of view on drugs which might make it easier for addicts to seek help without being judged. Before being able to buy drugs from these state controlled entities, the buyer should be required to acquire some kind of license. I imagine the license similar to a first aid course. Participants should be educated about health risks, dosages, safer use guidelines and so on. There should be licences for different classes of drugs, e.g. opioids, stimulants, cannabinoids, psychedelics and so on.
