AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.
Look, legalizing all drugs is madness, and I'll tell you why. You think the Netherlands is some utopia? They've got open drug markets AND some of the strictest regulations in Europe keeping it from total collapse. The second you legalize everything, you don't get freedom, you get pharmaceutical companies turning heroin into a lifestyle brand with a Super Bowl commercial. We already know what happens when profit motive meets addiction, cocaine in Coca-Cola killed people for decades. Regulation without legalization works. Portugal decriminalized—didn't legalize—and their use actually dropped. There's a difference between treating addiction like health and pretending society can handle fentanyl at Whole Foods. What's your move?
