Poland liberalizes drug laws in effort to focus on treatment [35]
Marijuana should be legalized.
In the USA, heroin was legal at the beginning of the 20th Century...It was available in tablet from the German Bayer Company (the ones who made aspirin) who also synthesized heroin at any pharmacy...I would say, even legalize heroin, but problem with that IS mafia control, and the use of injection to take the drug...Before heroin made illegal in US, no one ever inject heroin...It was available in pill form.
Cocaine?...This a tough one, as, to me, cocaine in powder form does nothing but damage the nose, and make you crazy...If you chew the coca leaf, as many rural South Americans traditionally did, it was a stimulant, good for making you work, but did not have the harsh effect of cocaine hydrochloride (blow).
I am afraid that various mafias have too much control and make too much liquid cash, to permit legalization of certain drugs.
As far as opiate dependency treatment, certainly methadone works, and there is also suboxone/buprenorphine, which is basically heroin in pill form, but with the drug narcan added, as to discourage crushing up pills, and shooting them...Narcan cancels out any opiate effect when injected with an opiate.
Meth?...Too harsh, ban it, but make forms of speed like the old diet pills available in small doses.
Always the question of, if permitting drug use, will the nation become a society of addicts?...I say, even if legalized, only maybe 7-8% of citizens will regularly use these drugs...Many legal pharmaceuticals are much more deadly.
I have seen small doses of opiates work wonders for depressed and even people diagnosed with more serious psychiatric disorders in my days working in mental health.
