the tyranny of addiction is more direct and oppressive than anything a government could do to you.

Control yourself. The government should never dictate what people can and can't put in their bodies.

I know addiction is real, but prohibition is not the way. The only way you can curb addiction is through treatment and harm reduction, NOT punishment. If you punish someone by sending them to jail over drugs, they're probably going to go back to using because jail is not a deterrent, in fact it makes people feel even more oppressed, misunderstood and left out which could contribute to wanting to use drugs to blow the misery away. You can only treat, not punish. Punishment for drugs is not moral (especially not things like psilocybin or marijuana). Treatment and harm reduction is the only just thing to do.

What if you decide to swallow 9000 beads and the hospital deems you incompetent and pumps your stomach with the blessing of the law? Did they violate your rights?

>>12764353
addiction is a genetic predisposition and this is observable, so it's reasonable to curtail this with some kind of system. I agree with you that punishment is definitely not the way. I wish I had better ideas but it seems to work in east asia with the shame system.

What kind of fucking bullshit is that that you just said there? The law on drugs is not there to protect you like in the case of accidental poison ingestion. Even ingesting poisons purposefully (not drugs) is not punished or classified as an offence by law. The same thing goes with swallowing a load of beads, It is not illegal to swallow beads, which is exactly why you can go into a hospital and say you swallowed a bunch of beads and not have to worry about the cops coming and arresting you for it. That's not the law at work, quite the opposite. What kind of fucking comparison is comparing swallowing beads to overdosing on drugs in the eyes of the law? If you have drugs in your possession, the law treats you like a criminal by default. So you can get arrested and thrown in jail for simply having it on you. The logic doesn't apply.

>>12764370
if you do anything stupid they should throw you in a padded cell until you're bead/alcohol free. The law says you can be deemed incompetent, those laws should be vastly expanded to throw all druggies in in a detox-concentration camp until everyone stops hating them.

East asia doesn't just have the shame system that discourages drug use. East asia has extremely strict drug laws that can land you in jail for years over simple possession. It has some of the strictest drug laws in the world. Just look up drug laws in Japan and China and see what it's all about. It's truly draconian stuff. Problem is that in most of the world the most used drug is marijuana which is a relatively benign and harmless drug, but in East asia however (especially Japan) the most commonly used drug is methamphetamine. Prohibition partly contributed to this fact, along with Japan's history with amphetamines in general. In fact, methamphetamine use there is actually not very rare among the population, it is just very well hidden and never talked about because of how taboo it is. Even then, methamphetamine is less taboo than marijuana (somehow) due to their backwards drug laws. But that doesn't mean that drug use doesn't happen in Japan, and there may very well be more drug users in Japan than the statistics show simply because most of them won't admit to using drugs due to how strict Japan is with that stuff, and they hide it very well and are very responsible with it because if they aren't, their lives and names could be ruined. Drug use exists in east asia. It is not rare, it is just more hidden and less shameless or full display than in America. The war on drugs has done nothing to stop the consumption, sale and trafficking of drugs, not even in the most strict places.

The idea of temporary detention if you do something irresponsible is a good idea but governments don't practice it like that. They overpunish things that frankly shouldn't even be punished. I'm talking about regular non irresponsible drug use (no high driving or whatever). Governments could punish you for years for something you did only once because a friend suggested it, and that is deeply wrong
They don't just put you in detention for a day or two, the laws explicitly state that you are required to be punished for certain drug crimes with years in prison. I hope you understand that I'm not talking about temporary detention for irresponsible acts, I'm talking about years of jail time over small things.

They always have been on the losing end, but they would just never give it up. Pure stubborness, incompetence and stupidity leads to an absolutely colossal waste of tax dollars that could have gone to literally anything else to make the country better.
