1. A limited set of drugs should be legal. Stuff like heroin or synthetic "salts", etc. should be legally banned. I see no good reason for legal heroin for example.
2. Legal drugs should be equal in rights, including alcohol and nicotine. Same laws, same taxes etc.
3. ALL advertisements for legal drugs should be permanently banned everywhere. Including advertising with a package/bottle itself on a market shelves. So no drug containing products can be displayed visibly on the shelves, anywhere, even in 21+ shops.
4 (optional). There should be a network of government sponsored clinics who will provide a certain subset of legal drugs for free, with mandatory medical screening. Not the drug itself for later use, but a single dose administered on-site. I'm not exactly sure about all negative possibilities here, so it's an optional idea.
Points 1,2,3 should be mandatory and implemented as soon as possible.
