Where does everyone come down on the legalizing heroin and/or cocaine debate?

Anyone who approves to legalize those illegal substance certainly have something wrong in their brains. To bring up a debate legalizing them is already so wrong in so many levels.

For recreational use:
Cocaine, maybe, because 99.9% of (illegal) cocaine sold in Canada is cut with terrible solvents like bleach and other harmful chemicals. The premise of legalizing would begin to push the elicit market out. It’s been a slow draw with cannabis but the elicit market now makes up less than 30% of the TAM.

Heroin, no way. Imagine someone doing heroin on the streets in residential neighbourhoods with kids walking by or getting behind the wheel of a car.

Both are still far away from that though and I can’t see how the government legalizes it vs. Decriminalize.

Decriminalizing and safe supply is about harm reduction and effective use of public resources. I don’t think anyone is proposing a legalization framework for these drugs anything like we have for cannabis.

People are going to use drugs, legal or not.
Decriminalization minimizes the policing costs of going after individual users, that can be better focused on dealers, traffickers, and those spiking drugs with fentanyl that has killed thousands of people.
Safe supply, drug testing, and safe injection sites save lives, and reduces cost of emergency services constantly responding to overdoses. It provides a connection point with vulnerable communities to be referred and access other services.

I think it's a slippery slope. I can't help but not think that. If tobacco was illegal I wouldn't seek it out but since it's legal and accessible it's always around me.

I say go for it. Let people use their nurture and their discretion and blaze their own trails and welcome all consequences. It might be chaotic but it will probably be a lesson in the very least.

Doing it without having sufficient treatment and recovery options is bloody murder.

People would somehow find a way to put their agenda in "Legal" coke or heroin. Nothing is innocent anymore and I can't imagine living in a world where this is the case.

I'm not about it. Nobody would ever show up to work on Mondays...or any day for that matter.

I have a therapist that I see twice a month and it has helped me to some extent. I feel like I’m in a general plateau. I feel like we are going through some repetitive themes that I see and understand. I have high functioning depression and I’m going through the “and what?” Phase of it all. Is this common? How do you move on?

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
