"For [many] addicts, legalization would mean less likelihood of death by overdose due to standardization of supply and dosage; getting high based on the safest drug that gets the job done, rather than the one most easily available, even if much more dangerous and addictive; no need to transact business with drug dealers, who are sometimes dangerous and violent; an ability to seek medical attention for oneself or one’s family members without fear of arrest; and more opportunities for subsidized treatment, if even a fraction of the money spent on policing and incarceration were spent on social services. There’s also the fact that fewer would face long prison sentences. And if you think once imprisoned they’re clean, I suggest studying prison drug culture."

— Conor Friedersdorf
