There's also the huge issue of getting people help. Understandably, when someone is in possession of illegal drugs, theyre going to be wary about getting help from a group that might have ties to the government. You decriminalize basic possession and it opens more of those people up to seeking help.

Help is readily available for alkholism - and there are fuktons of folk around who are not interested/dont ant to take that up - and there is no stigma/offence attached to that.

Looks how crazy it was during prohibition though. People were getting poisoned by alcohol. Pretty similar situation.

They were getting poisoned by de-natured alcohol, how is decimalisation going to help this ? dealers are not going to stop cutting stuff with shit

? this is just decriminalising drug use - not chaing how it is made available, dealers are still going to adulterate as much as ever.

Look at weed. Once decriminalization it starts getting monitored and safer ways to get the drugs are presented. I see what you are saying, but there are examples of this method having good results.
