Socially I'm pretty liberal but the idea of providing free hard drugs to addicts is really hard to accept intuitively, despite a lot of evidence that it works best at a macro level. It's also not a clean win. Open a safe injection

Well in jurisdictions more likely to legalize any or all drugs they seem to have more social safety nets like Medicare. Drug users across the board use more resources so it makes sense to me to tax the hell out of it, be it tobacco, alcohol

Maybe so, but it now enables global reach at the speed of light. You can't argue that the danger from a stick of dynamite is the same as the danger from a nuclear bomb. You might not care about the difference if you're standing n
