So why ban anything?

Anonymous OP 2w

AGREED! Decriminalization of all drugs would be a huge step forward, as it would allow for better outreach programs as well as people more willing to potentially enter rehab since they won’t have to worry about criminal charges. Banning drug distribution but not drugs themselves is a great idea

You’ll also have a lot more people going into rehab

Anonymous OP 2w

Yeah, that’s a good thing. It’s important for people to go into rehab. The whole point of decriminalizing drugs is to make addicts less afraid of getting help

And less afraid to take drugs so there will be more addicts

You cannot entirely eliminate the presence of something as pervasive and easy to covertly possess, use, and transport as drugs in any adequately free society. Hell you couldn’t even fully eliminate it in an extremely suppressed and surveilled society, which in and of itself creates the individual psychological conditions that motivate escapism and pleasure seeking activities, mind altering substances being a big subset of these activities.

I think drugs ruin people’s lives and they should not be allowed in any capacity what so ever

Yeah, I said nothing about decriminalization of drug distribution. Decriminalizing drugs and decriminalizing drug distribution are not the same thing

Thats restarted, that doesn’t prevent drugs from being used since the criminal activity is already being done by criminals, you’re just enabling more people to use drugs without fear of repercussion

Lmao so then you just don’t actually care about improving people’s lives and society in your vain fight to achieve something you yourself recognize as impossible

Anonymous #5 2w

So something impossible of achieving is not worth striving for?

It’s not criminal activity if it is decriminalized. Additionally, how do you expect people to take drugs if distribution is decriminalized? People taking drugs isn’t necessarily the problem, it’s a symptom of a problem. Additionally, how do you expect people to go to rehab if they are nervous about potentially facing criminal charges?

Oh I see you don’t actually care about helping addicts, your problem is purely with delinquency. Solving the problem isn’t important to you, it’s just about punishment

Yeah, if people are scared of legal repercussions, they won’t engage in that outlawed behavior

If there weren’t legal repercussions, more people would drink and drive, more people would vandalize…

Absolutely, we strive for achievements that are actually possible, and the improvements it brings may unlock the impossible. You cannot just skip ten steps and hope to achieve perfection. In fact your advocacy here will both actively harm people in the immediacy, and set us back materially, socially, and culturally in transforming impossibility into possibility.

I’m sorry, are we talking about vandalism or drug addiction? Stay on topic Also we know this is objectively incorrect, because what I am suggesting isn’t some theory. Portugal has implemented the policy I am discussing and has shown HUGE decreases in drug addicts and drug related deaths

Love how you make all these wonderful and outlandish claims not knowing that I had an ace up my sleeve with Portugal’s drug policy, which has been a massive success over the past 24 years. You my friend aren’t just wrong in theory, you’re wrong in practice
