What drugs are you talking about? The article opens up talking about MDMA, which is generally non-addictive and taken infrequently. Some governments tax the sale of cannabis, which is probably a lot more psychologically addictive than MDMA. And of course they tax the sale of alcohol and tobacco, which are both a lot more physiologically and psychologically addictive than MDMA. What are your thoughts on those substances, and the government's role? I'm in favor of just legalizing/decriminalizing it all. For drugs that are highly addictive, like heroin and meth, instead of the government selling them or taxing them, taxes from the less addictive substances could be used in part to fund treatment and recovery programs. MDMA does have a lot more potential for physiological harm (including brain damage and death) than cannabis despite being much less addictive, so that may need to be in an in-between category that's focused more on prosecuting people selling impure products, and education (imagine FDA warnings and advice on every MDMA tablet), without most of the addiction recovery aspects.
