Jay Szalavitz Drug Policy

Being honestly and personal, I think drug uses should be handle in a rather aggressive way. In aggressive, I don’t mean “...dehumanization of people who use drugs.” or “...committing genocide.” In this sense I think I agree and disagree with Maia Szalavitz. In her argument she explains a lot about drug policies and how they came around. I think drug policies are good. Drugs are illegal substances that does harm the human body and it is great that there are laws to prevent it. This is also where I began to agree with Szalavitz. Drug policies are being handle in the wrong way and drug users are judged. Duterte’s way of handling the “war on drugs” is absolute horrid and keeping people in crowded prison compared to concentration camps is wrong.
Szalavitz also makes a good point when she talks about psychiatric calling ex-drug users “clean”, It does imply that drug users are dirty. I agree and disagree with Szalavitz because I believe drug policies are good but the way they’re handle is bad.
