“When I’m Dictator for Life…” is very relatable sentiment.
Sadly, between the failure of prohibition and the spectacular failure of the ‘war on drugs’, we’ve pretty conclusively demonstrated that a different approach is needed (preferably one that works instead of one that ruins society across half a continent…). I hold the theory that decriminalizing / dispensing some drugs (the safer ones) would greatly decrease the demand for the more destructive drugs (heroin, coke) and help to destigmatize drug use, improving treatment and safety all around.
To live in a world where something good might actually happen… Sigh. Probably not worth speculating about.
