01
The audio points out that Black and Latino people are imprisoned for drug offences while wealthy people profit legally from the same substances. Do you think drug legalisation in your country would make this kind of inequality better or worse? Why?
02
Should people who were imprisoned for drug offences that are now legal be released or compensated? Who do you think should be responsible for making that happen?
03
The speaker suggests that corporations will simply replace drug cartels as the dominant force in drug markets. Do you think it is ever possible for a large corporation to act in the public interest, or is profit always the priority?
04
In your view, is there a meaningful difference between a government choosing to legalise drugs for public health reasons and legalising them primarily to generate tax revenue and create new markets?
05
The audio mentions that we have a "brief window" to regulate these industries before corporate norms take over. Do you believe ordinary people or communities have any real power to shape those rules, or do you think that window is already closed for most countries?
