You can decriminalize possession of small quantities but still make the drug's production and distribution illegal. Instead of state violence (which is basically moot in a decriminalized use environment), let's talk about the violence of addiction [to hard drugs]. It does violence to mind, body, family and many other things. |

sure, this at least makes it possible for drug users to seek help without fearing legal repercussions, but it doesn't do much to stop people from overdosing due to inconsistent purity and nasty cuts (eg, fentanyl and friends). it does nothing to stop the killings in source countries and poor communities where drugs are sold.
