So you're gonna solve your problems like a nigger because you aren't capable of rationally assessing a situation? Have you not noticed that where marijuana is legalized, opioid deaths decrease pretty significantly? Do you honestly think people would take dangerous opiate/opioid narcotics if they:
A) weren't hooked on them by pharmaceutical companies and doctors trying to make a buck
B)weren't readily available for legal import from china
C) Had safer legal alternatives readily available to them
If recreational drugs were sold in legitimate vendor pharmacies with GC/MS testing and insurance remained privatized, what is the issue? You are not going to be encumbered with the price of the mistakes of others because people should be responsible for the decisions that they make with their own bodies. Gang crime would dry up because they would run out of their largest revenue stream: you would literally be making the situation safer for every person involved. Increase the punishments for crimes committed while intoxicated to discourage recklessness (though I don't think there would be any measurable difference besides maybe a dip in alcohol related DUIs). The taxes generated from legal drug sales could go towards things that actually mattered like revitalizing infrastructure, modernizing our electrical grid, and paying off our massive debt; conversely, right now we're spending money that goes into the DEA's pockets which later colludes with cartels.
I also don't know how many poppy fields the US military needs to protect in Afghanistan to prove to you they don't give a shit about fixing this problem.
As an addendum, unless you're going to apply the same policy to people who smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, you're a fucking hypocrite.
