In case it’s not clear, I am in favor of prohibition! The exact lesson I draw from the failure of alcohol prohibition is that drug harm isn’t a major factor in drug users’ choices; you can’t (ethically) reduce demand by making drugs more harmful, and more modern evidence seems to show that making drugs less harmful doesn’t increase use by much either. I believe that drug distribution should be illegal, and drug consumption should be as safe as practical. If we’re talking about political feasibility, I think replacing harmful street drugs with their pure versions at the point of consumption is politically much closer to “safe injection sites” than it is to “government agents with the job title of Drug Dealer”.
