Drug legalization is less harmful than prohibition. The idea is to do less harm.
Either way the people who want to do drugs are going to get them and do them. I believe we have to stop tearing families apart and imprisoning people for victimless crimes.
Ultimately I think decriminalization is the answer. It doesn't have to be "legal" necessarily, just not criminal. No more overcrowded prisons with non-violent offenders.
The gang problem is a side effect of prohibition. They exist because of the black markets that rise from prohibition. Even Mexican cartels have said they only thing that allows them to exist is Americas drug policies. If we decriminalized they would disappear practically overnight.
I have lived in areas with large homeless populations. Much of that is people with mental issues that we no longer help as a society. Reagan did that in the 80's. He defunded all the asylums and there was nowhere for those people to go. Drug abuse comes along with that territory. That isn't an excuse but we as a people should be caring for our sick. We don't and that is a reflection of us. At least in the United States anyways.
Drug and alcohol abuse is going to exist no matter what. We should treat it as a sickness and not a criminal act.
Libertarians: Worse than Liberals.
Liberals = Predictable outcome, visible banner.
Libertarians = You have no clue whose side they are on until it’s too late. 90% of the time? Betrayal.
Sigh, clueless comments.
Really clueless

Drugs can be legal if alcohol is.
Alcohol is lethal and addictive. And legal.
So, whether it's lethal and addictive must not be how we decide what free adults get to put inside their body in a free society.
Maybe it's based on the natural human right of freedom of choice.
Well more harm handing the cabal the right to grow weed. Like they have your best interests at heart.
Your words are abusive to me, but my fists in your mouth is not abusive. People who want to take away your rights will always find a way.
Libertarians are to the right of Republicans on the true political spectrum.
All your statement does
is confirm how dire the situation is
when Gary Johnson is to the right of Republicans.
GARY JOHNSON.
Republicans or RINOs? There is a difference.
Libertarians want even less government control than Republicans.
In other words - Legalized child prostitution.
No they're not.
The idea is you leave me the fuck alone and I leave you alone.
The farther left you go it seems, the greater the desire to fuck around in everyone else's life.
And the further right you go, the same thing happens. Churchy Nancy Reagan types want to dictate what you do in the privacy of your own home.
