Drugs are already completely legal for the underclass - basically, any and all petty crimes are. Our judges dismiss the citations (~65K in one case!), our juries acquit them, our DA refuses to prosecute them, and our cops don't bother at all anymore.
- ams6110 8y agoLegalization would provide some additional things, such as standard dose/strength/purity quality-control, i.e. people would know what they are buying and not get a suprise OD by a fentanyl cut that was not adequately mixed. It would also make it easier for treatment providers to operate, get insurance, take insurance/medicaid or cash payments without tainting themselves with "drug money" and potentially having their assets forfeited. In theory, taxes on the sales could fund treatment/recovery.
- rmdashrfstar 8y agoHow about not doing those drugs in the first place? Or is that too much to ask?

- dumbfoundded 8y agoNo drugs are used as selective imprisonment of the underclass and minorities. Even the arrest by itself is a significant disruption to someone's life. Rich people get to use drugs all the time without even any worry of arrest.
