cant stop drug users using drugs. better to provide a safe environment for them and access to supervision.
Can't stop murders, rapists, and serial killers from murdering, raping, and serial killing. Better to provide a safe environment for them and access to supervision.
Seriously, this argument is wholly bullshit. I'm generally under the idea that as long as you aren't harming someone else physically, do what you want, but the idea that we should use government funds to allow people to harm themselves "under supervision" because we can't stop them is just completely asinine, and anyone who makes such an argument is clearly intellectually deficient.
The alternatives are more expensive. We're spending taxpayer money regardless, this not only allows them to be in a safer environment but it saves money. Win/win. Until all drugs are decriminalized at least. ---
