Revoking medical care for ODs would be fine. Caveat emptor.

I favor across-the-board legalization, ending the doctor/patient prescription ritual, making all drugs available OTC to adults 18 and older.

This would need to be accompanied by an escalation in penalties for public intoxication and illegal trafficking--5 years w/no parole for the former and 20-to-life w/no parole for the latter. And no advertisement.
