No, they don't have supervision now and it would just milk the taxpayers to require supervision. Just make all drugs legal and stop the 'drug war' - it is a failure. We didn't have drugs illegal until 100 years ago and people did as they choose. Keep driving or operating anything that endangers others while intoxicated illegal. It's like trying to make drinking illegal - people are going to do what they want regardless of the laws.

No, but we should treat drug abuse more as a health issue than a criminal issue. Addiction is a not as simple as black and white. I believe there should be incentivization of private corporations to aid with drug use. Not a safe haven where folks can use at will but a treatment clinic where people can safely be rehabilitated.
