Addiction is a health issue, period!
If you don’t believe it is then, make alcoholism against the law! Make mental illnesses against the law! Make chronic pain syndrome against the law!
The real criminals are those who profit on people with addiction syndrome. By decriminalizing, people can openly seek help, doctors can properly treat them. By decriminalizing, drug dealers lose their customers and go out of business. By decriminalizing, jails, become empty and crime rates drop and ambulances can be available for you.
I support decriminalization of addictive drugs!
