Drug Laws are banished: Use/ Posession of any substance is now legal.
Hospitals
Less hospitalizations
Education is provided on safe drug use. Also there won't be drugs that are laced if the government is controlling them and have accurate labels on what each one contains.
Education programs implemented in schools and other government educational programs provided by governments increased budget to teach safe drug use.
More Hospitalizations
Inexperienced drug uses try new drug and don't know their safe limits.
Drug Testing Facilities
Encourage them to create more accurate testing.
Could increase testing prices if testing becomes more accurate.
Could provide more employment opportunities since companies will still want sober employees and if more drugs being available then more facilities will open.
Treatment Facilities
