Decriminlization of drugs has been an absolute, total, fucking disaster in every way possible.
You really think so? I've always supported decriminalization.....of course I'd like to see more outreaches for people with addiction issues and for addiction to be treated like the health crisis is actually is.
Not just decriminalizing it and leaving people to rot on a sidewalk with no help. I have a small government stance here, and the war on drugs has been an expensive shit show.
Alcohol is one of the worst drugs out there. It's right up there with heroin, honestly. It's just legal and the method of consumption is more socially acceptable.....I would not say alcohol is as addictive as heroin.....but there is much difference between the two addictions, if that makes sense.
In fact I'd rather deal with a heroin junkie who will just nod out or OD at worst rather than a drunk who is dangerous to others and abusive(all drunks are).
