> I (and most people) are unconvinced that legalization is the correct path for highly addictive drugs like opiates or amphetamines But both of those have legitimate use cases and are on the legal market. The crucial part is getting the regulation right, which starts by getting rid of corruption in government agencies like the FDA that are supposed to do their job, so that criminals like the Sackler family can't market and sell them to everyone. These are all institutional challenges that governments need to tackle, but they're unrelated to how addictive a substance is. After all, we've been marketed and sold tobacco and alcohol for decades, which have done immeasurable levels of harm to our wellbeing. But it's possible to reach a place where we can all live with the personal decisions of one another, without becoming a nanny state. Whether or not most people agree with this hardly affects my opinion. Anyway, it's clear that we disagree on some political points, and I don't want to steer this way off the original topic. Cheers!
