I was going to downvote when I started reading that last line, but I finished it because I'm not a reactionary cunt. Your idea makes sense. Make it legal so we can send them to jail just for having it in their system. I like that a lot.
At my work, we have a bum who spends time in the local methodone clinic he's been visiting for years, standing on the other side of a mailbox that marks the end of my company's property. He stands there all day, everyday begging for money and we can't do anything because he's not on our property. I want to throw him into traffic.
Not exactly. Legal punishments would be for public intoxication and nuisance, not mere intoxication. I don't want anyone dragged to prison for being high as long as that high person minds his own business, behaves normally in public, and lets other people do the same.
Of course, employers would (and should) continue to demand sobriety on the job, regardless of the legal status of a particular intoxicant.
I hold the Libertarian position on drug use.
At least he's going to the clinic and not shooting up on the street.
His offense is public nuisance and panhandling.
Harsher penalties for known addicts committing these antisocial acts would be a good idea.
