Drugs Should Be Legal, Regardless of Their Reputation

I understand what you are getting at, but the issue is a lot more nuanced than that. What about a substance like LSD which has no known LD50 and has been proven to be less harmful than other "natural" drugs like alcohol and tobacco? At what point are heroin and cocaine no longer considered plant-derived?

In my opinion the only real solution is full legalization with better education and addiction management.

I would take natural being legal as a great first step.

Totally agree with you on education, and would add research on uses, harm reduction and life saving counter substances.

The cost of current policy is crazy high and laced with harsh judgement not always rational and or warranted.

There has to be easier ways.
