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?

Used to be a Meth and heroin addict as well. I am in the opposite camp though. As a Christian and a past addict I think they should still be illegal. They need to just fight the manufacturers and cartels in a tougher way and offer more help and support for the lower end people..
I can agree with not throwing people in prison for minor things.
Would making it legal stop anyone either though
I worry if it was legal it would become even more popular. There is right and wrong and our laws and living should reflect that as best as possible. People still murder even though murder is illegal.
Yes Jesus saved me as well. I agree churches need to get more involved and we need to create help for these people. Not just label them and throw them in jail and throw out the key. Though I also feel punishment of some sort is important.

Why is that such a hard concept to get?
Legalizing it also means normalizing it, which means more people will use it because its cool.
Much like more people "transition" because it became legal, normal and cool.
