Decriminalizing Drug use is a core element to public health
First, it’s important to define exactly what decriminalization means. It’s not legalization, where the government suddenly allows massive poppy growers to make opium and sell it at a local store. Decriminalization is the elimination of criminal penalties for drug use and possession. The idea is to make drug use a public health issue with a focus on prevention and treatment, rather than a criminal issue that focuses on enforcement and criminal penalties.
