All fallout from the war on drugs. I wish lawmakers would see that prohibition does nothing to curb drug production and use. It just pushes everything underground where a vast market is controlled by ruthless gangs who think nothing of torture and murder. We should accept that a) humans have used drugs for millennia and hoping this will just stop is hopelessly naive, b) invest in actually helping people who’re struggling with addiction instead of criminalising them. Also, as a bonus, c) explore medical uses for substances currently banned.
