The point of legalizing opiates and opioids is not to make them recreational drugs, but to make it legal to help wean addicts off them in supervised situations. Quitting addictions to narcotics cold-turkey is incredibly dangerous physically, but currently the only legal way to quit. Addiction is a disease; making the treatment legal is important.

I agree with legalizing marijuana. I don't use it, but I don't see that it is causing major problems like alcohol.

I would accept supervised use of psychedelic drugs. I am not interested in them. I have read about some uses that have a benefit for some people. It is therapy. I would also agree to de-criminalize use of these.

There are other drugs that I just cannot see as recreational drugs. Opioid drugs have caused some major problems with addiction, overdose, leading to wrecked lives and death.
