I’ve thought for a while that “hard” drugs ought to be made available with a license. Every year you check up with your doctor and a mental health specialist, and if things seem to be in order (no physiological damage from drug use, no arrests, no job loss from drug abuse etc) you get your license to buy consumer quantities of cocaine, mushrooms, whatever. I’m sure there are solid arguments against a license structure but I haven’t imagined a better middle ground between total prohibition and 19th century style cocaine in cough syrup.
