All Drugs should be available free of charge in supervised clinical environments with encouragement to quit! This would take them away from dealers and reduce the criminal involvement!
@9ML76JD10mos10MO
No, but access to medicinal drugs through medical professionals should be made easier for those with genuine medical needs.
@9ML76J310mos10MO
No, but access to medical marijuana through GPs should be made easier for those with genuine medical needs.
@8ZJJX2X3yrs3Y
Yea but target drug dealers instead
@8ZJBYS5Conservative3yrs3Y
We should legalise ALL drugs but make it safer for people to use. By having places people can go to use these drugs. This removes drugs from the streets, makes is much safer for people to use (as the drugs will be cleaner) AND drug lords and what not cannot profit off of harming peoples lives due to vast and major addiction. Also, it makes the population more free to do as they want. No one is being forced to do drugs and people should also be warned of what happens when taking drugs!
