> There is no “legalize it” solution with these drugs

That's why keeping in mind the difference between legalization and decriminalization is important.

You still need criminalization as a “stick” to either get people into rehab or not take these drugs at all.

Criminalization doesn't work. We have known this for decades. Destroying people's lives perpetuates the problem. Treat drug addiction as a public health issue and it needs to go hand-in-hand with poverty reduction.
