Should drugs be illegal?
I've had this discussion with a lot of people, and I don't do drugs, but I've always thought that every drug should be legal. You're not harming anybody but yourself, SELLING drugs should be illegal, not using. ;\
what do you think? Also, think of everything you can get arrested for, I can't think of too many things you can get arrested for besides using drugs where you aren't harming someone else in some way. Also a question from Dossar to discuss. If illegal drugs were made legal, would that lower gang activity? |
Re: Should drugs be illegal?
I don't use them (I can't lol), but I do think they should be legalized TO SOME EXTENT. Obviously, drugs such as cocaine/heroin/anything made synthetically and has severe side effects shouldn't be legalized.
Nothing wrong with marijuana and shrooms though. |
Re: Should drugs be illegal?
I'll leave this question here:
If illegal drugs were made legal, would that lower gang activity? Discuss. :) |

If we considered less things to be crimes then there would be less crime.

Ugh god... Listen here... Drugs should be legalized but they will never be legalized.. Wanna know why? Becuz the government makes stupid decisions.. Wanna know why alcohol is legalized??? Becuz the government taxed alcohol and now they make money when they sell it.. Now your probably saying to yourself.. Why dont they just tax weed??... The answer is.. WHY DONT THEY! The government somtimes makes decisions without thinking and sometimes they just dont make any since...
And thats MP3 player's Fun Fact of The Day! |
Re: Should drugs be illegal?
They don't tax weed because they know that weed is already available as is. People can sell weed without tax which means businesses who sell weed from a tobacco store won't get much business if a person can get the same amount of weed from someone else, makes sense?

Im preety sure that the only reason they dont legalize Mirajuana is becuase our government is STUPID! Have you thought about that?? Alcohol is available everywhere and if the government hadn't taxed it, then it would be ILLEGAL... Think about this.. Alcohol is proven that it is worse than cocain and weed... So with that imformation, why is it still legalized?? Because the government dosn't care because they've taxed it and there making profit. |

Re: Should drugs be illegal?
we should build a giant robot that hunts down and kills people who smoke weed and drink alcohol
sullyman: so where are all the alcohol kingpins? notice they all vanished after the prohibition ended. derp |
Re: Should drugs be illegal?
On the plus side, legalizing drugs would remove a lot of the premium that comes with harder-to-acquire items and allow it to be taxed and regulated. You'd probably see a lot fewer drug-transaction incidents (robbery/death/assault/etc). You don't exactly see people killing each other over a bottle of Tylenol when we can get it on the cheap at the local drugstore, now do we? Furthermore, fewer people in jail means less burden on taxpayers and fewer children suddenly forced to get by without parents (who would then be more likely to commit crimes).
Sounds pretty good, but the problem with harmful drugs is that they're, well, harmful. Unlike with alcohol, it's pretty hard to define a "responsible heroin user" when such a drug really screws you up and creates a physical addiction that is painful to break. What good could come from legalizing something like that? Simple law of supply and demand: Make something cheaper, and more people will buy it. If you legalize drugs, you're going to see more people using them. It doesn't exactly add much value to society. |
Re: Should drugs be illegal?
They'd have to start making more laws about weed if they legalize it. Like no smokin and driving, no selling etc.
If they just say, it's illegal, everything involving it is illegal and easier to control. |
Re: Should drugs be illegal?
even if you paid people to do heroin I doubt you'd get more than a certain percentage on it
most of the harm from heroin is the crime people are forced to do to get more of it, anyway |

Or maybe put a limit on every drug, the amount you can have possession of. EDIT: And Dossar, I agree. ;p |
