Question for those of you living in a country where marijuana is legal. What are the positive sides, what are the negatives?
If you could go back in time, would you vote for legalising again? Does it affect the country’s illegal drug business , more/less?
Legalize all drugs. Addiction is a severe mental health disorder, not a crime. Literally end of discussion.
I wouldn’t say it’s a mental disorder (not all at least), but 100% not a crime. We didn’t ask to come into this world, let us do to our bodies and minds what we want.
substance use disorders are absolutely a mental disorder and it’s damaging to treat them as anything else. too long they’ve been considered moral failings and people are fucking dying because of it. when a substance gets in the way of life, that’s a disorder.
as for doing what you want… im not arguing for sobriety or abstinence, that’s another approach to addiction that KILLS PEOPLE. you can still do what you want.
Addiction or not, who are you to say what people can or can’t do? Drugs, caffeine, sugar, why are you concerned with that rather than just providing options?
Can you show me what makes you think it’s a mental health issue?
Alcoholism is the only one I’m aware of, which can be hereditary and genetic.
