>So full legalization with a lot of counseling (like in Portugal, my current residence) seems a good avenue to try out. Yes 100% this is in my view the best approach. >In NL we already had (have? It was that way when I was young) The needles and the police checking dope quality at parties, why not go the extra mile? I am afraid this is not the good of the people but the money made from drugs somehow or is that too cynical? Yes take the money out of the cartels. All profits from state run facilities go toward drug rehabilitation and/or mental healthcare in general. Sourcing of the drugs is the part I am unsure about. Seems like they have to give production to a pharmaceutical company(s) (creating a new cartel). Buying from cartels is not an option as you are just pushing the misery out of your back yard and into Columbia, North Africa, or Afghanistan.
