Thank you for further explaining your point of view. I think also that the US's healthcare is partially to blame - if you had universal healthcare, then poor people would also (in theory) have equal access to drug prescriptions. I do think that, generally speaking, many drugs are best done under medical supervision. I have a friend of my brothers who died of a heroin overdose, her first time trying the drug. I tell myself that if we lived in a world where foolish college kids have to go to a pharmacy and get their hits administered by a registered pharmacist, maybe she'd still be alive. I also generally agree that the War on Drugs is bullshit. It didn't work for alcohol during prohibition, and it's not working now. The smart move is legalize, tax and regulate.
