We should do it but also if you are annoying about weed it should be legal to kill you
Fully legalize the production, distribution and consumption of all psychoactive substances without exception.
This, but we must not allow anyone to profit off of the addictive drugs. Instead they should be given out for free or sold at a loss. The funding for this could come from getting rid of police and the DEA.
Decriminalize all drugs, treat addicts as mental health patients, not criminals, end the drug war!
Make the legal status of recreational THC use the same as that of alcohol. Legal for anyone to use who's 21 or older. Also make the THC piss test for certain jobs/applying for welfare illegal.
EDIT: and of course release all the convicts only in prison for petty drug crimes related to sale/possession of weed.
Raise the cool age to 22 because I hate college students
Pretty much my exact thoughts but also include hair sample testing being illegal for weed use. My last job required that and I thought that was overkill. I didn't even use weed prior to that and I thought it was quite invasive for a dumb manufacturing job.
:geordi-no: legalize weed
:geordi-yes: abolish the state prohibiting weedLegalization creates spaces where it becomes inaccessible to some and could mean punishment to others.
Until we have a socialist paradise where you can just roll up to the weed store and have whatever you'll use, it's always going to be inaccessible to some. And I don't see how legalization would mean punishment for some but decriminalization wouldn't.
Legalization is also good because it makes it more feasible to regulate away adulterated drugs, or drugs with unknown strengths. Legalization gets you a fancy weed store where you can trust the product you're getting; decriminalization gets you a hot couch guy drug dealer selling you stuff of variable quality.
Decriminalization is bad because it does nothing to solve the problem of dirty and laced drugs being the only drugs available and sold at ridiculous prices. And it does nothing to solve the problem of drug related crimes. Legalization is what we need to do, because the existence of the black market is easily the number one source of illegal drug related deaths.
In every practical example I've seen in the US, decriminalization has meant making it legal to possess and carry, but keeping it illegal to produce and distribute.
It should stay illegal and anyone who partakes should be immediately executed tbh.
Legalise and and quash all previous weed related offences, but regulate distribution to prevent/disincentivise people under 18/people with mental illness having it. I know that's probably not 'cool' but I sadly know of someone who had previous trauma whose weed-use exacerbated mental issues. I am also close with a psychologist who deals with children/teens who have mental issues that were made worse by early weed use. It's not Meth I know, but it's basically same as alcohol.
But yeah, unfortunately weed is a privilege I probably can't dabble in having had an intense 3 year long OCD episode recently, so take my views with a grain of salt.
