If they're legalized it's possible it would be easier to track usage, and stage interventions if someone's demonstrating dangerous patterns.
If it's illegal than maybe fewer people are exposed, but it can be harder to know when it's a problem.
- fasthands9 3y agoI am skeptical that libertarians who want legalized drugs would be okay with tracking. For progressive-minded people I'm skeptical too, most harm reduction programs I see emphasize anonymity. The link below is framework for harm reduction policies which seems pretty clear that tracking usage is not part of the practice "Participation in services is always voluntary, confidential (or anonymous), self-directed, and free from threats, force, and the concept of compliance. Any data collection requires informed consent and participants should not be denied services for not providing information. This means using low-threshold evaluation and data collection systems to measure the effectiveness of harm reduction programs." https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/harm-reduction-framework.pdf https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/harm-reduction-fr...
