I suspect you are talking about weed, and I agree that it should be just as legal as tobacco.
I am in favour of a general legalization of recreational drugs, preferably through a state owned monopoly like the Swedish alcohol monopoly.
Tax it like tobacco or alcohol, the government would get a shitload of taxes to deal with issues stemming from abuse, while also creating a LOT of new jobs.
I would even like to see the stores have a certified counselor on staff who is trained to advice and guide customers toward the right experience they want, and an addiction specialist who are available to help people get the help they want to get clean.
Having a system like this would enable the government to guarantee that the drugs they sell are clean and relatively safe for consumption, thus reducing the need for healthcare, it would also probably almost stop the sharing of needles, further reducing the need for healthcare.
It would be one of the most effective ways to get rid of gangs, not only would it almost wipe out their biggest income, but it would also provide more jobs for former gang members, giving them a better way to a better life.
Reminds me of the classic
“it’s not slavery, it’s just punishment which doesn’t burden the taxpayer”
