Recently, the debate over whether drug use should be criminalized has been intense. I carefully read Luo Xiang’s article, and his views are quite complex.

I saw the news too. He doesn’t seem to simply support or oppose it, but stresses analyzing specific situations case by case.

Exactly. From a legal perspective, many drug-related behaviors are already criminalized; it just can’t be handled with a one-size-fits-all approach.

What impressed me most was his point that some substances are legally classified as drugs, but may actually be used for medical treatment.

Yes. If we impose heavy punishment without distinction, it could harm people who are already vulnerable, which wouldn’t be fair.

He also mentioned the principle of proportionality—severe crimes deserve severe punishment, minor offenses lighter punishment. That sounds more rational.

As a public servant, I also think the law must strike a balance between combating illegal acts and protecting human rights.

It seems that in public discussions, calm and careful thinking is more important than simply taking sides.
