You believe that legalizing and regulating drugs will lead to reduced crime, improved public health, and increased individual freedom.
Drug liberalization is a political ideology that advocates for the reduction or elimination of government regulations and restrictions on drug use. This ideology is based on the belief that individuals should have the freedom to use drugs for recreational or medicinal purposes without interference from the state. It is often associated with libertarian and progressive political movements, which emphasize individual liberty and personal choice.
The history of drug liberalization is complex and varies from country to country. However, it can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s, when…

What role could art play in shaping a society's perspective on legalized drugs?
@9JF8NBS4mos4MO
by allowing people to see how it has affected peoples evey day lifes and childhood.
@9JGV3DN4mos4MO
Art could potentially change people's perspectives on the idea when it comes to drug liberalization. Maybe through art pieces, literature, and maybe musicians, the idea of banning drugs in some areas could allow people to realize the problem or agree with the idea of it. It could bring more attention to drug liberalization.
@9JF8QCD4mos4MO
Art could guide people and drive them away from the drugs.
@9JF89354mos4MO
It could show us the long term effects and side effects.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Imagine a music festival where all drugs are legal; what new safety measures might you expect?
Narcan and other ways to prevent overdoses. Strict security to make sure those who are on drugs are not a danger to themselves or others.
If all drugs are legal, it only makes sense to take precautions for abuse. Bars have bouncers, this isn't exactly a new idea.
@9JD8DH84mos4MO
If all drugs are legal at this festival, there should absolutely be more security and Narcan so no one overdoses or potentially harms others.
@9JD7M3T4mos4MO
Why take the risk of putting the drugs out there and getting people who haven't done them to start doing them which that leads to possibly more people doing drugs and more drugs on the street.
@9JD4GKP4mos4MO
Lots of cops and medical care around as the dangers of people overdosing could always be at bay.
@9JGZ9XMIndependent4mos4MO
Medical care would reduce the deaths of these people significantly because they are trained professionals and can stop an overdose if it is happening. Police because people can become violent. Just because the drugs are legal does not mean that the actions done while on said drugs are legal.
@9JD4WZN4mos4MO
I would expect there to be mandated disposal facilities and specific areas where drugs can be used. Guards should be posted around the festival to prevent violent actions fueled by the use of drugs. If regulations are not followed, a large fine should be imposed.
@9JD4GPM4mos4MO
I would expect a couple trained ems to assist any possible overdoses
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
In a place where drug use is legal, how would you define 'substance abuse'?
@9JS3LYK3mos3MO
Use of a drug as escapism, or to one's own detriment
@9JS3RLB3mos3MO
The use of an addictive substance in excess and consuming it to dangerous levels.
@9JS3ZQY3mos3MO
Substance abuse is someone who depends on drugs and are heavily addicted
@9JS3TQ33mos3MO
I would define substance abuse is when they can not quit this substance because they are simply addicted or when it causes harm to that persons family,love life, social life, work life and harms their ability of having a job.That is when I believe that there is a substance abuse problem.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Would you trust the government more or less if they legalized all drugs, and why?
less. many more people would die of overdoses. the government should not be able to pass a law that can harm people as much as this would
@9JHMN8WRepublican4mos4MO
Just like vapes, alcohol, and many more substances having restrictions, we have seen that it has helped reduce intake. Although having a safer way of doing something bad, you shouldn't be doing something that will kill you even thought its "safer".
@9JFHBDS4mos4MO
Decriminalization is the best path forward. More addicts would seek help if they knew they would not be legally liable.
@9JF88QJWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
I would trust them more but people would find a way to get drugs no matter how legal they are
@9JFF5SN4mos4MO
The government has proven itself untrustworthy in most policies. I would not trust them on this either.
@9JFD5Q24mos4MO
This would decrease my trust as it would look as if they are attempting to profit off of drug addiction.
@9JFCG5W4mos4MO
same. its the peopls choice wether they want tu use drugs or not, but we need orginazations to help if one can't or want to stop using it.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might the everyday life of a teenager look different if all drugs were legal?
@9JF6MQH4mos4MO
I can't say there wouldn't be a rise in teenage overdosing or deaths, that being said if it were to be legalized there's still an age restriction it would just have to actually be enforced. Therefore the "average life of a teenager" would look as it does today. Using fakes to get what they want or paying someone else.
@9JF6CZC4mos4MO
Teenagers lives would be bad. Those teenagers would have to become parents at some point. I believe there is some good in this world and maybe a few would not go crazy. But I would then see it the same as alcohol. Personally I think drinking is already a bad thing but doing drugs is even worse.
@9JF66DS4mos4MO
Kids would be less focused in school and school would smell like crap
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you feel about your best friend experimenting with legalized drugs?
@9JGV3DN4mos4MO
I would not like the idea of my best friend experimenting with legalized drugs because I think it would be harmful towards them. Although it can be beneficial in banning drugs in certain states, I would not feel comfortable or safe with my best friend risking their life to do that. Drug Liberalization is not a negative idea that I don't like, I just would not risk my best friend's life for that.
@9JF9LX84mos4MO
If my best friend felt as though it was a right option for her, then it is not my place to offer my opinion over her autonomy.
@9JF7PYR4mos4MO
I’d be fine with it. Adults should be able to decide what they put in their bodies.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would society change if we viewed drug addiction as a medical condition rather than a criminal act?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If recreational drugs were sold similarly to alcohol, how do you think this would affect your community?
@9HFVYZNRepublican6mos6MO
If recreational drugs were sold similarly to alcohol, I think this would affect my community negatively as an increase in drug consumption will impact the health, mental, and physical state of the citizens.
@9HFVH8F6mos6MO
I think with the right education in place, it would be fine. It depends on the drugs, of course. Things like LSD and psilocybin are illegal for no discernible reason.
@9HFV2S36mos6MO
I think it would make many places similar to oregon.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How might drug legalization influence the relationship between citizens and law enforcement?
@9HFX7S46mos6MO
The legalization of weed will decrease the number of people being unfairly incarcerated and no one should go to jail for drug possession but people with hard drugs should be sent to a rehab facility
@9HFXDWN6mos6MO
Perhaps make it for the better because then their will be less people in jail, that don't deserve to be there.
@9HFX74L6mos6MO
Citizens who do drugs will be less afraid to corporate with police
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Where would the line be drawn on drug advertising if all substances were legal to use?
@9HZWHNL4mos4MO
Drugs couldn't be advertised to anyone under the legal age to do them, though they shouldn't be legalized at all except in medical cases.
@9HZWGMV4mos4MO
That's the biggest problem right now. Drugs shouldn't just be legal to use at all. There should be no drug advertising either because it rather "glorifies" using harmful substances.
