I think this is overrated. Most drinkers (and drug users) are over 21. A lot of people don't touch harder drugs because they are illegal. If you could buy opiate pill freely in the store, millions more would get addicted

I'm not convinced the societal costs of addition wouldn't be staggering. Think of how many more people smoke tobacco and drink bs even use marijuana, much less harder drugs. If you legalize those drugs, who is to say heroin use doesn't double, which would be pretty disasterous

alcohol is just as destructive as the harder drugs, it's just used so very, very widely that we dismiss it's negative effects

What % of alcohol drinkers are addicts or drink to the point of lost productivity, impact on family, etc

What % of crack users

What % of heroin users

Alcohol problems are widespread because of the broad use, not because it's that destructive in and of itself

increasing the number of hard drug users would have a big impact

you're assuming that addiction is purely a chemical thing, which it is not, those who use crack are, imo, predisposed to abusing it and having problems associated with drug use of some sort, that's why they use in the first place

only the fringes of society use this stuff now, hardcore opiates, including heroin were widely available at the end of the 19th century, fucking sears sold heroin for coughs etc etc

society did not collapse as a result

So the only thing preventing you and your entire family from using heroin is the fact that its illegal? The people who want to use heroin are already doing it. Its not hard to find. And for the ones that would want to experiment once it is legalized, well then that is their natural right.

I personally don't believe in using taxpayer money for other people's rehab/medical expenses so in my ideal world that would be a non-issue

There are a lot of practical reasons to legalize drugs, but for me its more of a moral thing. Its my body and I don't think the government should tell me what is ok to put in my body.
