I don't think anyone is arguing for no restrictions on schedule one drugs. Just clearly criminalizing possession/use is not working and it's time to try a new strategy. Distribution/selling should still be illegal and controlled by the government. I'd like to see a system where heroin addicts can get a prescription/license that allows them to purchase directly in a supervised injection center. I'd also like there to be plenty of resources and information available from the same place for those looking to leave that life behind.
But I'm not an expert, and probably the people who are could come up with a better solution.
