Yes, but acknowledge that drugs and alcohol damage the human body and apply an NHS tax on those drugs and alcohol so users will willingly damage their bodies pay for their unnecessary treatment and put less strain on the NHS with the eventual aim of getting them off alcohol and drugs
@9NNC5TR10mos10MO
No, but decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits only such as marijuana. Ie they cannot be taken for recreational use.
@9MX5JLC10mos10MO
Unharmful drugs such as marijuana, which has calming effects, unlike alcohol which is barely controlled and causes violence, road accidents, poor judgement (then leading to further issues), etc should be legalised, yet still regulated and controlled. Ketamine, Heroin, Cocaine, etc should all remain illegal and should be monitored more closely.
