Every and all narcotic must be made illegal with choice of treatment and recovery for 6 months or 12 months imprisonment.
If an addict choices treatment and recovery, they will need a lot of close personal relationships because people make life worth living, so it would help them to build friendships with people who have never had a substance issue. I hope people are open to building a connection with someone going through recovery, but only if the person stays clean.
I’m not condoning the death penalty, far from it; but I’m inclined to think actual enforcement (instead of catch and release that we have now), with support programs to get people off the stuff, will steer the needle towards better direction, as opposed to decriminalizing it and let people who needs help continue to abuse illicit drugs the way they want, where they want, when they want.
Your right! Any drug that affects people’s perception of reality has the potential to create dangerous drug addled psychopaths. That’s why we should be going the whole way and banning tobacco, alcohol, and all non-immediatly necessary medically prescribed medications like Tylenol and Advil. These terrible drugs cause millions of dollars of harm to otherwise potentially productive employees.

We tried that. It didn’t work. Other countries tried that. It also didn’t work.
Your desire for things to be black and white doesn’t make your idea functionally in reality.
Countries like Singapore where there’s death penalty for drug possession/trafficking — whether we agree with it or not is secondary here, just highlighting purely from a whether or not it is working point of view — seems to be working.

brings up singapore as a positive example but then talks about wanting a rehabilitative system instead…
I an talking about a total change of culture from how Canadians are now see how Canadian born people are callous and pretentious or contrived.
Some of us aren’t. Mostly the government has done quite well in stamping out regional Canadian culture into inoffensive Tim Horton sadness
