War on Drugs Cant Be Won, According to Global Leaders

[MTK]

I'm all for legalizing weed, but not stuff like coke, heroin, etc. The harder stuff should be decriminalized though.

Wait, if we are not "legalizing ... stuff like coke", but we are decriminalizing it, what are you suggesting? Can I snort coke in my house or not? Can I carry it around with me? Can I get a license to sell it? What about meth? Can I be arrested for mere possession? If I can possess it, I guess I can use it? Do I have to use it in a supervised manner or can I use it in my home? Around my kids? Around your kids?

etc. etc. etc.

For starters: reduce the severity of the penalties for possession, and definitely don't toss people in prison for using.

So you can smoke your weed and I still can't snort some coke? That won't cure many problems.
