Legalizing medications
Description
Legalizing medications involves revising laws and regulations to permit the controlled use, distribution, and access to specific drugs previously restricted or prohibited. This strategy aims to improve public health outcomes, reduce illegal drug markets, and ensure safe, regulated access to essential treatments. By establishing clear guidelines and oversight, it addresses issues of unsafe self-medication, criminalization, and barriers to care, promoting safer, more effective management of medical and social needs.
