Commoditizing Illicit Street Drugs

[Neverheeb]

A malevolent dichotomous mechanism exists in some drug users which is responsible for bringing some users to a point of insanity. When a euphoric experience is expected, but a profoundly dismal experience takes place, a bit more sanity is lost with each new episode. Some consumers of illicit street drugs call this “chasing the dragon”. There is a stigma associated with drug use that leads many users feeling distraught, heart-broken, empty and abysmal once the drug is ingested. Yet the expectation of ingesting a drug is a light-hearted feeling of euphoria. In fact, the natural biochemical response within the body most certainly should illicit happy feelings of euphoria. However, the stigma attached to the drug use creates a detrimental mechanism within the mind that permeates through the body, soul and spirit which leads many users to insanity.
Removing the stigma associated with drug use would allow a user to experience the effect of the drug without falling into the trap of addiction. The user would not become addicted in a scenario lacking the mechanism responsible for driving the person insane, continually taking the drug in an effort to reach an expected feeling of euphoria they felt was deserved. The person ultimately using their body the way they wanted. By ingesting drugs as a means to reward themselves or celebrate in some way. Removing the stigma of drug use goes beyond making drugs legal. Drugs could be legalized, yet if the stigma remained, society would only be worse off, with the addictive nature of drugs remaining, and use increasing, leading to the overall consequence to society becoming more severe.
The war on drugs will never end unless drugs are made legal. No one wants to fight the war on drugs, yet the masses are not willing to take the reformative sweeping action that will solve the problem all at once. Commoditize cocaine and let a laissez-faire market emerge. The system is broken.
How do you feel?

War on drugs just doesn't really do anything positive. The amount of people that don't do drugs is negligible because they are illegal compared them being legal. There's a small bump after legalization, but on the long run it's a wash or slightly negative.

The biggest difference is that illegal drugs cost more compared to non retarded legalization models. And you get rid of class related issues. After a certain tax bracket you can get wasted with no personal risk. Shopping doctors and all that jazz.

I personally am in favor of legalizing every commonly used drug for recreational use. They are common because of minimal risk. Even fentanyl is very safe when properly administered and packaged/prepared. People die of it because of cement mixers aren't precise and the drug in question requires precision. Grant total of not a single person has died of it in a hospital setting. Medical grade ampules of fentanyl are very precise for a reason.

Benzos are amazingly safe. The reality of illegal trade is that fentanyl/carfentanyl is cheaper than dirt cheap alprazolam. Better know as Xanax. You will literally never die from that. Your best bet is to try to choke yourself, but you will like pass out before that. On the other hand a single pill of counterfeit Xanax can kill you.

People simply almost never die of a drug overdose in hospital setting. It has less to do with better knowledge vs everything being what it says in the tin.
