People tend to assume things would go according to their fantasy mental model on this topic, but I strongly believe that legalisation of strongly addictive substances would pave the way for an illegal market for stronger and cheaper illegal drugs, untaxed and unregulated.
Addicted people don’t reason the same way as non-addicted people.

Fuck I hate politicians who think appearing tough is more important than harm(/death) minimisation which is what pill-testing enables.
