How Regulation Works

Regulation is not promotion. We regulate cars, medications, and alcohol – not because we want to promote them, but because control protects better than prohibition.

The Five Pillars of Regulation

🔬

Quality Control

Lab-tested substances with known purity and dosage. No adulterants, no unknown additives. Like medications: standards that save lives.

🏥

Medical Support

Mandatory consultation for first-time users. Regular health checks. Risk assessment and early intervention. Trained professionals instead of anonymous street dealing.

🔒

Age Limits & Access Control

Strict age verification, quantity limits, waiting periods. More control than current alcohol sales – not less.

Prevention Funding

Tax revenue flows into prevention, education, and therapy. School programs, community support, research. Money works for society instead of cartels.

🛡️

Privacy as Foundation

No central consumer registry. No data sharing with police or employers. Medical confidentiality. Trust comes from protection, not surveillance.

Privacy: Trust Through Protection

A regulated system only works if people trust it. Trust comes from protection, not surveillance.

❌ What Does NOT Happen

  • No central consumer registry
  • No data sharing with police
  • No employer access
  • No driver's license linking

✅ What IS Guaranteed

  • Medical confidentiality
  • Independent oversight
  • Purpose-limited health data
  • Anonymous statistics

Common Concerns

! Doesn't this normalize drug use?

Use is already normalized: Over 80 million Europeans have used illegal drugs. What's not normal: that they die because no one knows what's in it. Regulation adds safety, not acceptance.

International Examples

Regulation is not theory – it's practiced worldwide. See the results.
