The "make all drugs legal" was meant as a way of saying that we should not punish people that have an addiction. I was not advocating giving highly addictive hard drugs out without prescription.

Aren’t these two stances mutually exclusive? How do you propose not punishing people with addictions while somehow never giving out hard drugs without a prescription - since addictions are by their definition destructive and Dr’s shouldn’t be giving prescriptions for things that are known to cause problems for someone?

  Are they? You don't prosecute anyone. You get them help.

    I think the term you’re looking for is “decriminalisation”, which is different than “legalisation”.

    So then it’s not actually illegal to do any of these things?

Prescriptions exist to allow a non-doctor access to drug classified by the FDA/FHA as being “dangerous”. I agree that we should make all drugs legal in the sense that it’s a mental health problem but I’m not for allowing everyone access to fentanyl.
