Legalization of the good stuff (Marijuana, Psilocybin, Hash, Ayahuasca)

Decriminalization of the bad stuff (Coke, Crack, Meth, Heroin, Manufactured Narcotics)

Our entire cultural and human experience has been influenced by natural plants that cause entheogenic experience or intoxicating effects. Most of the earliest religions, including Judaism and Christianity were likely influenced by mind altering substances - keeping those plants illegal is tantamount to a violation of the 1st amendment in my book.

Decriminalization of possession and distribution of the rest will let us actually redirect cash resources from police\prisons into treatment while we actually target the real fucking villians - cartels.

I don't want to live in a society that is happy to take tax money from junkies - many of whom will end up committing crimes against me and other law-abiding citizens to get their fix.

I have this other funny idea where all the gear we confiscate at the border is centralized, tested, and made chemically safe with regulated dosages - so we can used confiscated gear to provide safe injection sites with safe drugs for free and entirely undercut dealers.
