Let's talk about drugs

[Aegon]

I agree with decriminalizing drug use and favor rehabilitation over incarceration, but have a problem with how the argument is presented. Your bulleted items aren't necessarily untrue, but lack the perspective of degree. Befriend a heroin addict and see if alcohol, tobacco and caffeine still register equivalent effects. The line of reasoning is unconvincing.

I realized it may have been a careless comparison. I was thinking very broadly, recreational substances that can cause negative effects...I wasn't thinking about the levels of severity.
