None of that is realistic, legalization doesn’t mean government run “injection clinics”, it just means junkies and pushers won’t have to look over their shoulders, instead it will be legal and marketed and advertised.
Junkies will still be junkies, still using old needles and trading and cutting and selling product to each other.
There also is no fixed number of junkies frozen in place and time, that will “get thinned from herd”, there is an endless supply of future junkies and immigrants, and even future ways for drug labs to alter, create new, and find new ways to use drugs and consume drugs once they are legal.
Free Market forces will create a whole new world of drugs and ways to use them in one’s life.
Where did I say “government run injection clinics”. I believe in capitalism. You need to pay for that which you use, IMO. As long as someone can do it legitimately for less cost than a dealer, it should be a money making transaction for a business.
The junky culture you are speaking of is a direct result of severe government penalties for being found with it (though not death, but 3 hots and a cot). Everything that is made illegal by the government, establishes a new underground, untaxable, unregulated, unsafe nightmare land where you can get what you want at a high price.
I didn’t say either that the junky population would be fixed, but it would be a lot more fixed than it is now, and most of it would be in the light of law, which will inherently both reduce the users safety and freedom risks. Heck even home clean kits would be better than what we have now.
Sounds like you continue to justify the position that your freedom to do things you like are OK, but another man’s solution to the happiness equation should not be allowed, because no matter how improbable, there is the possibility it could affect you or someone you love, somewhere down the line of time.
Sounds just like the gun grabbers!
