Canadian Push to Legalize ALL Drugs

This should be interesting to watch (if it happens).
If this happens I expect to see a marked increase in tourism to Canada. What I am interested most in seeing is the long-term effects (say 10-20 years down the road) of full legalization.

With months left before Canada becomes the first country in the G7 to fully legalise marijuana, members of the country’s Liberal party, led federally by Justin Trudeau, are calling on their government to go one step further and decriminalise the possession and consumption of all illicit drugs.

I don't know how detrimental it could be. It seems the reason most people choose not to shoot heroin isn't solely because it's "illegal".

Can you imagine Montreal for a bachelor party if cocaine is legal. Here Canada, take all my money.

I support this. Let Darwin clean up the gene pool.

At first glance this looks like it would clean up problems in the U.S. via drug tourism, but the economic strata that represents the problem can't afford the travel.

Nice. Now they need to push for freedom of speech. You can have the freedom to mainline crack, but don't you dare make a joke about lesbians or muslims.

The argument for tourism is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard for legalizing the hardcore stuff (not talking about pot). So people that want to come to your city or state just to do drugs like meth and crack are supposed to enhance the country? And name one person that uses something like that with stable home life or family? This will end badly.

So how does this work? Are they going to legalize the use of meth? What about opioids? Are you going to be able to buy them over the counter like candy?

Vancouver is the place to be if you're into drugs. Use of most drugs is already tolerated.

Not sure how I feel about this. I'm all for legalizing marijuana across the board, but it's a far jump from marijuana to heroin. I'd be concerned about an increase in the number of addicts and the toll that would take on an already burdened healthcare system. This is one area in which I'm conflicted about government intervention versus personal liberties.

Good move. Prohibition doesn't work anyway.

Decriminalization is not the same as legalization
There's precedent for this policy in Portugal, and Glenn Greenwald did a paper for Cato showing the effects were largely neutral to positive

1. I am willing to bet that it will be similar to what happened when alcohol and gambling were legalized. Usage rates will go up, but addiction will go down. If drugs were legal there would be more money available for treatment programs, and more importantly the use will be out in the open so more people will notice that someone is using drugs too much and hopefully intervene before it is too late.
2. Can you imagine the economic benefit to cities like New Orleans, Miami, Las Vegas, and Panama City if all drugs were legal.

Not really a smart idea for a country with provincially funded universal health care.
