I’ve been doing feature checking for a couple of weeks now, and Friendica seems to be most compatible with… well, everything. The default interface is kind of clunky, though, and less than intuitive. Misskey interface I like the most, and it seems to connect to most things (not Lemmy or diaspora, though). Nice community, too. Pleroma is turning out to be the most redundant of all these, and Mastodon is just the basic workhorse without many fancy bits. There’s also GNU Social, but… Meh.

Legalizing inevitably requires increase in rehabilitation and intervention, meaning increased short-term public spending. Long term this tends to even out, or even save money, as income from legal and taxed drugs kicks in and improved preventative and early intervention care means less serious outcomes.

As with alcohol, the dangers are known and can be prepared for.

The “war on drugs” doesn’t work and has never worked. Decriminalization and legalization in Europe seems to work.

As for alcohol; it’s an increasing trend in Finland (and probably other places) that young people drink less and are less prone to alcoholism. I’d think the same would happen with other recreational drugs.
