I understand that but there are many white collar people who resort to harder drugs due to the fact of the testing process. I realize the legalization of weed would not eliminate people from doing the harder stuff but there is a pretty large number of people that would .
Republicans are going to have start figuring out ways to move more to the center on moral issues in a way that it don't look like they are losing their soul and principles.

To treat addiction rather than consider people who have addiction as criminals. The better you get at treating addiction, the less problems you will have with drugs in society.
You don't need to make heroin or oxy legal, but you need to stop throwing people in jail and making them pay tons of $ in legal fees when they aren't hurting anyone but themselves. It's also a huge waste of taxpayer dollars and government resources over the long-term. Not to mention it messes up peoples lives when they have criminal records at a young age.

Hence, the addiction crisis to opioids is trying to be addressed by national medical/dental associations.

Most drugs should just be sold over the counter. Most will get their hands on them anyway. Alcohol causes more damage than most illegal drugs.
Instead, lets make testosterone enanthate illegal when that same person will get their hands on it from some underground lab in Mexico.
