A lot of health dis-benefits are a result of criminalisation. Some people who call for decriminalisation are calling for drug use to be treated as the health problem that it is.

With criminalisation we see drives to stronger forms of the drug (EG: bootleggers were mostly not selling beer, but spirits). Decriminalisation and legalisation would allow people to grow and actively market weaker forms of the drug.

Criminalisation pushes people towards unhealthier forms of drug taking because it's legally tricky to provide harm reduction information or harm reduction devices. Most people smoke cannabis; and most people mix it with tobacco. That's a pretty unhealthy way to take it. Legally being allowed to sell vaporisers would help.

It's currently legal to sell vaporizers

Thank you!

I get confused about what is or isn't "drug paraphernalia" and whether it's legal or not.
