The Scottish Government is calling for the decriminalisation of all drugs for personal supply.
SNP Minister Elena Whitham said the “ambitious and radical proposals” would save lives.
The Daily Record has a long running campaign to tackle Scotland's shamefully high drugs death rates.
In a new document, the Government outlines measures it believes could be taken now, or through further devolution or independence.
The proposals include decriminalisation of all drugs for personal supply progressed as part of a wider review of drug laws.
The Government said this move would allow people found in possession of drugs to be "treated and supported rather than criminalised and excluded".
They also want “immediate legislative changes” to introduce drug consumption facilities.
Whitham said: “These are ambitious and radical proposals, grounded in evidence, that will help save lives.
“We want to create a society where problematic drug use is treated as a health, not a criminal matter, reducing stigma and discrimination and enabling the person to recover and contribute positively to society.
"While we know these proposals will spark debate, they are in line with our public health approach and would further our national mission to improve and save lives.”
