Drug addiction is a medical condition. Criminalizing it makes as much sense as criminalizing type 2 diabetes. Getting it out of the courts and into the medical system just makes sense.

"All" drugs? I imagine society would collpase similarly to China after the opium wars of 1840, also causing a rebellion where over 20 million people died.

Yes, with the same product liability with any product.
If we truly belive in freedom, control over your own body is the most important freedom.
Alcohol and tobacco are horrors compared to any other drug. They kill and ruin more lived than anything. But, we get over it and allow people to do it.
2 years ago, I got drunk every weekend. I was lucky and eventually lost the desire to drink. I never did any other drug, but if I had kept up, I would be no better off than a drug addict.I know that by making all drugs legal; it means that the State can tax them, an make a killing off of their sales. The problem is; that too many people will be affected by this in a bad way, as their addiction will be fed more, and more will over dose, as it will be easier to find their drugs of choice. People will be high more often, and in a lot of cases, unable to work, because of their high.
It may bring down drug related crime, since it is now easier to acquire your drugs. Over all, it may cause serious issues when you wish to have children. But it will be good at making less drug crimes. We now need to educate all about the drugs, and their affects on ones body, so people will not consume them without have full disclosure of what they are about to put their body through, listing all properties, implications, and side effects.Well, it would put the cartels out of business. And while I am all for doing what you want and being able to put whatever you want into your own body and stuff, some of this stuff is evil. Meth, Fentanyl, or the combo resulting is super-meth are pretty lethal. So while I am fine with most of it, some of it can be legit be classified as poison. So I am a little torn. But, putting the cartels out of business and providing people safe versions of their drug of choice is appealing to me. It's a difficult question.
Drugs shouldn't be criminalised, the actions people take on drugs should be criminalised. If someone smokes a joint, sniffs some coke etc and knows the consequences and doesn't hurt anyone else then they are not criminals. The minute there actions affect someone else negatively then that is when it becomes criminal.
Seems like the best solution to win the "war on drugs".
Portugal, decrimilised all possesion of drugs, and instead of punishing the consumer/addict they offer help and rehab. They now got the lowest amount of drug addicts in all of Europe by far.
Drug dealers are still punished and face justice in court.It would be the most effective means of getting rid of them completely. Unlimited availability, without legal consequence and unlimited information on how destructive they can be when misused, will eliminate the cool factor, wow factor, forbidden fruit factor, and mystique involved in experimentation and need to learn the hard way.
Doing recreational or unnecessary prescription drugs, will be as cool and appealing as picking up a dog turd and putting it in your mouth.All for drug legalization! Best way to fight drug proliferation is to make it legal and TAX the SH! T out of it! Then watch crime and overdoses DROP through the floor.
Probably not a great idea. I am all for the legalization of certain drugs, but legalizing all drugs will just create a massive increases of deaths and harm/addiction.
meth heroin crack PCP should always be illegal. those drugs are a straight up gateway to hell. LSD shrooms and weed in okay with. coke I always felt was a decent not too addicting drug. haven't done it in over 10 years but it never made me want to spend an arm and leg to get and stay high. It was kind of like alcohol to me. once you wake up the next morning you don't crave it or anything.
so yeah Coke I'm fine with being legal, the others hell no way too addicting.(Read in singsong voice) Oh, hell nooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I knew a cop that used to say that they should just put out tables with piles of drugs on them an just let them kill themselves with it because that's what they want to do in the first place.
It works in European countries and people who say it can't work here don't believe in America.
Marijuana: Fine! No problem with that.
LSD: No problem with that, either under controlled conditions (don't want someone jumping out a window!)
The others: NAAAAAAH!!I think people found with illegal drugs in them shouldn't serve jail time but get sentenced to get therapy / get on methadone programs / get on suboxone programs
Supportive. Just need fda, doctors etc to say what dosages are safe- just like they do with tobacco and alcohol. Not sure why cocaine or heroine couldn’t be sold in diluted forms legally. E-meth, baby.
As a government employee with a security clearance... it doesn't matter for me. I can't touch anything.
Thats just dumb. I understand weed, but chemically produced drugs should not be legal beside the medically approved brands.
Might as well. Trying to get rid of them hasn't worked.
Well, it means a lot of taxes are gonna be involved. And a lot of people are gonna want out of jail.
I agree with it. At the very least decriminalize them
