The idea of decriminalisation is the cops don't focus on end users (and the negative effect of this to them) and the resource goes toward organised crime.
I think makes sense for drugs govt won't legalise like Heroin, while they should legalise lower end drugs like pot.
- TylerE 5y agoThe problem with decrim is that it forces users to interact with criminals to get their fix.
- efnx 5y agoAnd the interaction can't be monitored - the user has no guide through dosages besides the person directly benefiting from the sale.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoWho where they interacting before decriminalization to get their fix?
- Jcowell 5y agoI don’t get the point of this question. Obviously criminals? The expectation is that regulated avenues will serve to divert.

- cloverich 5y agoThey just left out that context, i.e. decrim doesn't change the fact that you are forced to go through a criminal to obtain them.
- Gustomaximus 5y agoSure, but they were doing it already and now they have removed the criminal element of it so the situation has improved. While legalising reduces the criminal element, however potentially adds wider social issues. Illegal/decriminalised/legal all have pros/cons.
