Heroin is given to hard core addicts for free by the government. They don’t have the problems with public disorder, drug related crimes or overdoses that we have.

One drug that I put in a different category is caffeine. It appears to be mostly beneficial. The drug that should really be outlawed is nicotine.

Lol, so what's the logic behind only banning nicotine?

It kills far more people than any other drug and creates a huge societal cost in increased health care costs. TBH, it is impossible to stop the use of as well, especially given the huge number of addicts. Prohibiting it would lead to a drug cartel smuggling it.

So then we should also remove all restrictions because criminalization doesn't work?

I think there will be more people using the products, fewer overdoses, less violence, and taxes going to governments instead of money flowing into drug cartels, who use it to corrupt our civic institutions. This happened when alcohol was made legal. Why would it be different?

this is ignoring all the evidence and buying the head in ideaology. it takes a lot more drinking to become alcoholic and also alcohol doesnt cause OD. Whereas hard drugs will force addiction and OD.

More people OD on alcohol every year than all other drugs combined. Tobacco kills the most. There is no rhyme or reason why certain drugs are legal and others are not. It is mostly cultural, it has nothing to do with how dangerous they are.

In Amsterdam, they had an epidemic of heroin ODs in the 70s. They decriminalized usage, forced druggies into rehab, and if you failed rehab enough times you get free medical-grade heroin supplied by The State. Drug-related crime and ODs have dropped to almost zero.
