I also think that the abusers/addicts should be required to get treatment

How is that relevant to the question of legalization. Why would you require that when drugs are legal and not when they're illegal? What's the difference?

" The only time, IMO, that drug users should be put in jail or prison is when they have broken the law, by harming others around them. "

Then I guess we pretty much agree about decriminalization, for the most part. The rest is just details. I think treatment should be available, but I wouldn't think it should be required. We are, after all, a semi free country- that really ought to include the choice to take drugs if you are an adult, if you want to.
