Eh, I'll just copy and paste something I wrote on drugs:
The use of drugs should never result in a prison sentence or a fine; instead if someone is caught with drugs for personal use, then that person should only be offered rehabilitation. Parents of young children will have to go through rehabilitation, or risk losing their child, whilst everyone else will retain the rights to reject the rehab offered.
Similar schemes have been introduced in Portugal, and it has had many staggering results:
- Rehabilitation was found to be cheaper than incarceration.
- Illegal drug use amongst teens has decreased.
- The number of HIV cases caused by sharing dirty needles decreased.
- The number of people seeking help for their drug problem doubled.
- Deaths related to heroin and other drugs more than halved.
These are the results of drug use becoming less of a taboo (which makes “rebellious” teens less likely to start), and so people stopped using them underground, and society became far more open to drugs.
