        The only drug I take is alcohol, I still don’t think someone should be criminalised for getting high.

        I especially don’t think that the way to cure drug addiction is to throw people in to prison. Drug problems need to be treated as a health issue, not a criminal one. No happy and healthy person ever woke up and just decided to get addicted to heroin.

          No, consumers should not be treated like dealers. They’re not criminals, but victims of themselves that need therapy.

                No, that is not evidence of physical addiction. People struggle to stop gambling. That doesn’t mean gambling is physically addictive.

                When I ask for evidence, I am asking for an academic study that agrees with you. That should have been obvious.
