Like should we legalize meth or should we make it free to get anti addiction meds and so on
Both. It being illegal doesn't help anything and again probably just makes it worse. But of course addiction treatments and fixing the social and economic causes of drug abuse are the actual solution.
My thing is like, ok, we give drugs to people who are already doing them and the supply is sketchy and maybe unsafe if we don't. Alright, cool. Legalization would also help with gathering statistics on the issue. But we also have the issue of making it more available for people who are curious first-timers, which is not good when your goal is to reduce addiction rates. I could see a situation where its legal if you have had it tested in your system before or something. This would effectively kneecap suppliers while also reducing the number of people exposed to it.
But another thing is cigarettes don't only harm you, it physically harms anyone around you too. So its different from just shooting up in your own home, shit even smoking in your own home restricts the supply of safe housing. In this way smoking is worse than other drugs because it can cause environmental hazards.
