      There are several entire countries that give the death penalty for just possessing small amounts of certain drugs.

      The whole drug system should exist in its own perpetual economy.

      Sell drugs legally, all profits go towards treatment and prevention.

      Make all illegal drugs legal and nationalize all pharmaceuticals, then keep making money on all of it but use the profit to change all drug use into an actual benefit to humanity rather than another way to monetize abusing people and profiteering from their misery.

      The way civilisation views both legal and illegal drugs is to think of it as a business and money maker, rather than a product to help people.

      Drugs have existed for hundreds of thousands, potentially millions, of years before humans. Peyote, poppies, cannabis, mushrooms, coco, and many hundreds of other plants just happen to have chemicals that make monkeys feel good.
