How it really helps is that people wouldn’t be afraid of reaching out for help and scoring these drugs wouldn’t be so dangerous. It would help people test for additives, seek mental/emergency services more readily, and help reduce the stigma around these substances. Instead of jail, those that are battling addiction would now be more free to talk about it in the open. I wouldn’t say people seek these substances out because they’re forbidden, but rather it’s almost always stress/pain/mental illness of some kind. Now we also need to add a ton of rehabilitative services that are low cost or covered by MSP.
