I shouldn't pay for someone's gambling addiction, why should I pay for their drug addiction?

I don't want to pay for sick people's imprisonment, why should I?

If they aren't already, they wouldn't be if legalized.

That too is a better alternative than locking them up.
I would think possession is secondary to crimes committed to get it

As a society, we have agreed to provide jails. Most people in prison are sick in one way or another. Kill them all so you don't have to pay? I am cool with it.

Under a legalization policy, only one of those groups would see jail time. Positive step.

Yeah, our prison system isn't a global embarrassment or anything.

But not in every case. Progress can be 10%, 20%, 50%, it's all positive.

The point of legalization is to target the sellers. If you can make even 0.00001% of a difference with the buyers, that's just a bonus.

Sure. From what I understand, a big issue with fentanyl is people not knowing they're taking it and it being mixed into other hard drugs. This is another issue with the trade being run by criminals that wouldn't be an issue if legalized.

Compared to some of the shitholes you'd see on shows like Locked Up Abroad, sure. That's an embarrassing standard for one of the highest developed nations in the world to hold itself to.

Is there another society where prison life is glorified and a major music genre celebrates the life of being in and out of prison, being the king of prisoners, etc.?

Fentanyl kills the all drugs should be legal discussion just as it should. All drugs are not equal

What's the difference? It kills thousands of people while illegal. It's not going to kill more people if legal.

Could be helpful to eliminate the market of compounding the stuff with coke or heroin without the buyer's knowledge though. I see that as a positive step.

Tons of people with no fear of prison. Being in prison is like joining a team. They enjoy the dynamic.
