I agree that we should legalize all drugs while also providing help for people who fall into heavy addiction. > It is also prohibited because addicts turn to petty crime... This is just bad logic though. The best thing to do would be to just arrest people for the actual crimes when they happen instead of trying preempt it. Otherwise we'd have to make illegal all the things that cause people turn to crime like bad parenting, being a sociopath, being in debt and oh...having spent time in prison. As soon as you get out of prison, they'd have to turn you right around and put you back in again. (No offense meant to you - I'm not sure if you're stating the logic that has been given to you or expressing your own. Either way, I 100% agree that decriminalization alone is a bad idea.)
