Drug addiction is a mental illness, not a crime. We have Alcoholics Anonymous, which helps people take back their lives, why not have the same thing for drugs?

Only if we summarily execute those who sell to people under age 25. (So brain fully develops. Marijuana should be legal over age 21.

Instead of jail time there should be mandatory rehab, and parole for that same as jail. They are still using in jails, so that only perpetuates the problem.

 @4Q4C63Lfrom Nevada  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but level harsh penalties against the user if they hurt someone while under the influence.

 @4THMGRMfrom Connecticut  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but drugs can also be used as weapons (i.e. as poisons), and hence should be controlled. Recreational use should be legal.

 @9RHYD7S from Michigan  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, decriminalize the buying of drugs but regulate the selling of it. And drug addicts should get the same kind of treatment as alcoholics

 @8N6QGZS from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

I do not understand what decriminalization is so I’m going to say that if you possess a drug that’s illegal you should be arrested
