    @dope legalize all drugs, provide clean drugs to users via regulated dispensaries or pharmacies, take all money from the drug war and allocate to mental health services including inpatient rehab. It works, check Portugals record on heroin use.

    That said, cannabis has a way better afety record than any of the other substances mentioned.

      Yes I know that cannabis is safer. But I think that it’s also mentally less healthy.

      Don’t get me wrong. Cannabis has done wonders and I appreciate it. But it is much more muddling than opium. And of the two, it is only cannabis that has disturbed friends of mine to the point that they gave it up entirely.

      I think that cannabis is more powerful and disturbing than we give it credit for. And, safety aside, opium is deeply smooth.
