Yes, the policy is indeed a lot more harmful than drug use because it not only fails to reduce drug usage(and might actually increase it), it punishes – instead of helping – people for having an addiction as well as causing a vast array of other societal problems. You should actually watch the video I linked previously and pay close attention.

You're not even trying anymore, are you? Me criticizing a harmful and counterproductive policy somehow makes me an ungrateful and hateful person? Alrighty then.

No. I am not. You keep saying the same thing over and over.
You blame "The System" for the Faults of he People and I am quite frankly bored with jumping on to this Ouroboros. Neither You or I will change our opinions no matter what the other says...in other words...

So the system cannot possibly be at fault for anything, according to you? Tell me, do you think it's normal to toss a person into jail for smoking dope or having a couple grams of weed on them? Cause that's the system right now.

Oh I agree that China doesn't have a better criminal justice system. It's rife with human rights abuses, just like the rest of the country. But if they're locking up people left and right, how come they still have less prisoners? Do they let most of them go arbitrarily? As for executions, I think the US would be leading in that regard too if it was legal in all 50 states.
Yeah, it does seem a little redundant to me as well, but it seems to work for them.

You’ll notice that unlike some of your other convictions, it’s not just the lefties who disagree with you, it’s also a more right-wing classical liberal such as myself, as well as the majority of libertarians, and no other right winger on KMC is jumping to your defense. Even Ben Shapiro, a conservative who dislikes weed, admits that the war on drugs has been an absolute failure in terms of its goal and economically. I mean firstly there is no justification for keeping weed illegal given that it’s much safer than alcohol, and that it’s really not something that should lead to criminal justice, and if you disagree there’s really not much hope for you. Additionally, making psychedelics is also not a smart move because it makes psychedelics significantly less safe for two reasons; 1. They’re unregulated so more harmful research chemicals slip through the cracks and get passed off as safer chemicals, and 2 people tweak the formulas of such drugs and come up with newer chemical formulas to get around the law which leads to drugs even less safe and even more drugs to regulate, it just multiplied the problem.
None of the other righties are backing you on this one because you’re talking complete bullshit here. Government was created to be a use of force and violate people’s rights through taxation and criminal justice in order to protect people’s rights on the whole from each other, and drug use is a crime that violates nobody’s rights and thus shouldn’t warrant the use of force. You screech constantly about left-wing propaganda and left wing fascism, which has some validity given the brainwashing and authoritarian policies some on the left have, however right now you’re defending a rather authoritarian policy on the right that has been lied about through countless pieces of propaganda.

You're a horrible person because you want to reduce recidivism, property crimes, drug use, violence, rapes, and Justice System costs through fact-based science that is backed by decades of research.

The problem with modern drug treatment programs is that they are based on antiquated and ineffective 12 step programs. AA, NA, etc need to drop the anonamous part of their programs to allow real study by the scientific community

Yea like I said I don't know exactly why they have less prisoners, but it clearly isn't because they are squeamish about locking people up. It could just be that they prioritize who to lock up based on political concerns, or it could be that actual crime in China isn't very high. I really don't know. But I would tend not to give them any sort of benefit of the doubt tbh.
