1. Make all drugs (literally, ALL) legal.
2. Supply the drugs free of charge (at government cost) to any adult who wants them.
3. Dispense the drugs only at 'Use Centres' - you come in, get your drugs, go into your little room, take your drugs, and you're not allowed to leave until you're no longer under the influence.
By making the drugs free and a government monopoly, you'd 1) save a fuck tonne of cash, 2) free up prison space, 3) eliminate the crimes associated with drugs 4) shatter the drug cartels.
Oh, sure, you can have rehab (also at no cost to the user) for people who want to get off drugs, blah blah blah.

If you're going to do that why not just have people pay for the drugs rather than forcing people who don't want to use drugs to pay also pay for them along with the drug users?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
