I do agree with this argument, but most of the time legalising doesn't just make problems disappear. It needs to be paired with better access to mental health facilities, rehabilitiation, etc.
Making drugs legal doesn't mean people will start abusing them. I do not drink or take drugs, and both are easy as hell to access here in the UK.
The benefits for me of legalising drugs would be making it easier for people to seek help with less stigma attached to it, remove drug dealers out of the equation, make it safer to procur drugs if people are going to take them anyway, I believe it would also make scientific research much easier which in turn might help us to know the long term effects of these drugs.
- sokoloff 5y agoDoes legalization make things better or worse than now? If it makes things better but still not perfect, perhaps we don’t need to hold up legalization until we can provide better mental health facilities, rehab, better public transport so people can get to these facilities easier, etc. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
