I'm kind of for legalizing all drugs, slowly, while also putting in place societal infrastructure for discouraging the abuse of drugs and to help people who become addicts.
I can elaborate on further reasons for legalization of drugs if requested; it is not however a top priority to me as a policy issue so I don't focus on it as much for that reason.
What do you think about drug legalization or criminalization?

lol sorry this is brand new federation with scored I think...?
I think really it comes down to creating a culture that wouldn't turn towards addiction, and then we would probably legalize drugs anyway as it wouldn't cause as many problems. Like if certain drugs were legalized today, you probably wouldn't turn to them again. So we need to have people develop that kind of attitude that even if legal they won't abuse them, that kind of thing. But it would bring down costs for healthcare (being able to grow your own medicine) and I think it's a dangerous precedent that we have all kinds of meds out of the hands of the average consumer as it makes us dependent on doctors to prescribe necessary meds at times.
