It means making sure that drugs get properly certified and its distribution controlled. It means focusing on treatment rather than aggressively punishing those who get addicted. It means addressing the underlying social issues that pushes people towards drugs rather than pouring all money into militarizing the police. > Opioids are actually not all that dangerous Victims of the epidemic would beg to differ. The epidemic highlighted the need for proper control of drugs through certification and prescription. It showed how far the pharmaceutical industry will go if left unregulated. > But with the street you get varying purity. I never advocated for this either. It should be illegal to sell drugs without a license. > There is no question as to the most deadly recreational drug: tobacco. Yet it's legal. Which is why regulation has increased for tobacco all around the world. We could do more to limit the exploitation of people by tobacco companies. > I can see no reasonable justification for the low-addictive stuff not to be legal. Yes, the specifics of regulation should vary depending on the dangers of each drug. I'm against all drugs being unilaterally legalized.
