@randyransom When did Sweden or Canada invade Africa? Yet here they are suffering the same as most other western nations because they graciously and idiotically took in tons of third world people who aren't exactly very peaceful, law abiding and civilized into their nations and as a result they're facing high rates of crime, violence and general bad behaviors from these people.

@RpmB-hf5re Can you name any place that decriminalized drugs where things have gotten much better? Seems like at best you hope things won't get worse and that decriminalizing drug use is more about not wasting resources on prosecuting small drug related crimes like possessing small amounts of drugs and using it than it is about improving anything. I live in Toronto, Canada where for a few years we've been experimenting with 'safe injection sites' where addicts are supposedly able to do their drugs indoors and away from the public while also having first aid should they overdose and clean drug equipment available to them. Guess what? It hasn't turned out that way. Addicts are still using drugs out in the public and drug dealers are now selling in and around those injection sites. The neighborhoods where these injection sites are located still see tons of needles and other drug hardware on the streets and also since addicts need money to buy their drugs property crime has gone up in addition to the people living in those neighborhoods feeling less safe with drugged out and often violent people walking around. Also drug addict deaths have been going up in recent years in the city often because of the drugs being bought contain dangerous substances that cause deaths so now activists are lobbying for 'safe supply' where the government would supply 'clean drugs' for addicts to use so that they don't die. My question is how is any of this REDUCING the number of people using drugs and fixing the problem? Seems like many activists just want addicts to shoot up as much as they want with as few consequences as possible. If I were in charge I would decriminalize possession of small amounts of drugs for personal use and let people shoot up as long as it was in private HOWEVER I would get rid of any safe injection sites or any kind of safe supply and allow drug addicts to live with the consequences of their choices. Namely if they shoot up and overdose and die then so be it. Increase funding for drug rehab programs for those that want treatment and let those who don't do what they want and if they die, they die.
