I don't want it becoming easier to acquire. I also don't want my government conveying the message to youths that drugs of any sort are directionally more ok than they were before. Decriminilizing/legalizing it would do that. I'm happy with how easy it is to acquire the stuff today and prefer status quo.

So you're okay with the increased rates of recidivism that come with the criminalization of drugs and the associated economic societal costs then? Or I should say, you're more okay with that than some abstract idea that the government is somehow saying it's okay to do drugs by not throwing people in jail for it?
