RE: Norway Is Moving to Decriminalize All Drug Use
It baffles me that taking drugs is a criminal offence in the first place, it's a victimless crime, a personal choice where you decide what you can and can't put into your own body.
Addicts need care, not punishment - by labelling them a criminal you're isolating them from the rest of society even further. Non addicts who take drugs recreationaly are hurting nobody. And if I crime is the result of drugs they should be punished for the crime and their own neglegance, not their state of mind.
Absolutely agree, however I also support regulations in tandem with decriminalization. I do think the "product" should have quality standards that ensure scummy sellers don't adulterate it with harmful substances that could cause bad and unintended reactions.
Personal choice will come with personal responsibility and accountability. You cant expect government safety nets to save you if you've taken things too far.
Exactly, if the product was legalized or even decriminalized, we would have taken a multi-billion dollar industry from criminals and given it to legitimate, tax-paying companies that follow strict legal requirements with public safety in mind.
