Cannibus for recreational use was legalized for 8 states.
Hard drugs now only require either a hundred dollar fine or going into a recovery live in program.

I forget what state that was but I'd like to see that in my state of texas.I don't believe in being imprisoned for being an addict.

Oregon Decriminalizes Small Amounts of Heroin and Cocaine; Four States Legalize Marijuana
Oregon Decriminalizes Small Amounts of Heroin and Cocaine; Four States Legalize Marijuana

Oregon became the first state to decriminalize small amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and other drugs. And in New Jersey, South Dakota, Montana and Arizona, voters decisively passed laws legalizing recreational marijuana. Cannabis is now legal across a large bloc of states in the West — from Washington down to the Mexican border — and well beyond.

Cannabis was also on the ballot in Mississippi. If all of the marijuana measures pass, marijuana will be legal for medical use in three dozen states and recreational use will be allowed in 15.

The Oregon measure makes possession of small amounts of what have long been considered harder drugs a violation, similar to a traffic ticket, and no longer punishable by jail time. The law also funds drug addiction treatment from marijuana sales taxes.

The Biden, Harris administration will press for eliminating Federal anti-marijuana laws. Let's see how the Repubs react.

I would rather all the money that is being directed at the War on Drugs, be redirected to Addiction Treatment programs, and just do what Oregon did and legalize small amounts of everything. It worked for Portugal.

Yup. These absurd illegal restrictions make it too hard to study the effects of these drugs, too hard to have studies into addiction treatment, and it scares people away from getting treatment.
It must stop. Drug usage isn't a problem. Drug addiction is a health issue, not something to penalize and punish and ruin someone's life for falling ill.

The real drug that has been released is the stupid anti-drug sentiment that the US has been pushing all over the world and which conservatives from all over the world have hoovered up like a cocain addict on the last line.

Thankfully, plenty of countries have seen sense in the last decades, but I'm just waiting for the next conservative backlash to punt us back into the 1950s.

shades of Dr. Gabriel Nahas who proved cannabis was deadly by strapping a gas mask onto a monkey and basically asphyxiating them with smoke, thus establishing brain death....total bad science and totally discredited....
