Are you in favour of decriminalising drug use?
No, but decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana
All drugs have medicinal benefit. Ritalin is a derivative of meth and is currently legal, heroin is an opiate just like codeine that is legal. It is hypocritical to allow some but not others. Regardless of this, I believe that misuse of drugs should treated as a health issue, not a criminal offence. Pushing drug use and sales underground through making drug’s illegal puts profits in the hands of gangs, means the government cannot collect taxes from the sale and reduces our ability to properly regulate the sale.
