As a person who has never done drugs or hallucinogens, and I have absolutely no interest in them...

All recreational drugs should be legalized, and there should only be laws on them in relation to what you can and cannot do while high. For example, no driving while coked up or hallucinating on some mushrooms.

Other than that, any individual action a man does in the privacy of his own home is their business, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

Resources should always be made available for addiction just like any other addictions that are legal, such as alcohol or gambling.

I'll never do drugs but I value freedom, and letting values be taught at home rather than the government acting as Mommy and Daddy.

Wholly agree. The criminalizing of only certain drugs is intentionally done to feed the prison labor system and withhold care and support from those with mental health disorders. It’s a maddeningly archaic way to run a country, but I suppose as long as it makes the ultra rich even richer it’s unlikely to change.

If our elected persons had your view, we'd besides have a more booming economy around producing and distribution of these legal substances, make well over what we do in weed taxes, probably multiples. And we'd set the stage as the first actual state to legalize everything recreational and set up places to get it. It's my dream that we set up somewhere or places here to grow, regulate, and distribute coke and mushrooms and lad, even heroin. Besides decreasing overdose rates, we'd control it all, alot of that tax would probably go to recovery efforts and we'd have alot more jobs which we definitely need as a atate

I'm against taxes as we have the richest govt on earth , but if it was entirely funneled for help to people who are truly addicted I'd be happy w it, I'm a coke guy, did 6 years in prison for it, from 17-23 but I'd honestly rather thar then sending money overseas. Plus we can use it to help our vets who desperately need it, if we aren't caring for them why are we allowing every immigrant to come illegally

That's a great stance to have. Besides all that, it would also open up the medical research side of things to. It's a shame that the world's oldest medicine and ritualistic substance has been criminalized.

Not to mention testing facilities would massively crack down on fentanyl overdoses.
