    I’m coming from a perspective where drugs should be legal and regulated. So anyone being imprisoned or worse for drugs is sick to me. I’m glad some addicts got better, but at what cost?

      I agree with you on that.

      It’s very different in western countries to poorer countries where guns are readily accessible. I’m talking more in regards to suppliers than consumers. I don’t believe consumers should be punished. They should get help, but ultimately you cannot always treat gangs and suppliers with love and hugs when they’d happily ruin lives for money.

      Look at Mexico, Columbia, El Salvador and the problems they have dealing with drug gangs. Legalising world wide would reduce those gangs power considerably.
