My favorite book on the subject: Legalize This!: The Case for Decriminalizing Drugs by Douglas Husak The author argues that all drugs should be decriminalized. The TL;DR argument: going to jail is the worst thing the state does to a person so it needs to have an explanation of why. No rationalization can be given for the case of putting a person (user or "in possession of a drug") to jail. https://www.versobooks.com/products/1795-legalize-this https://www.versobooks.com/products/1795-legalize-this This doesn't argue that doing drugs is a good idea, but we certainly, as a society, should not put people to jail (or even give fines for that matter).
