"Loosen drug laws: Throwing addicts in jail and punishing kids for experimenting is a tactic from a bygone era. My position is to legalize drugs with solely recreational purposes such as cannabis, LSD, MDMA, cocaine and so on and decriminalize opioids so those who suffer from addiction can seek help without punishment. It is not the government's job to babysit us and certainly not the government's job to enforce morality on us."
