Should We Reverse the Legislation That Made Drugs Like Heroin,Cocaine and Marijuana Illegal?
Question by lameikwet: Should We Reverse the Legislation that made drugs like Heroin,Cocaine and Marijuana Illegal?
In this country we have a big problem with drugs. Most of the drug problems are in low end urban Neighborhoods. A lot of crime in the cities is linked to drug activity, I’m not saying all but a lot. If the price of Cocaine didn’t rise so rapidly in the late 70s early 80s crack would probably not exist. The drug industry is a multi-billon dollar industry. So I’m asking should the United States and the rest of the democratic nations legalize drugs?

yes
Answer by Josh
yes definitly. if drugs were legal, we could study them extensively and find cures for addiction, or even other unknown benefits. plus the hemp industry would dramatically revolutionize this country
Yes we should legalize it, but, we should sell it 100% pure and not let the scum know that it is pure, that way they all go out and OD. Problem solved
No. We need to decriminalize it. We need other kinds of penalties/controls for hard drugs.
Weed: people should be able to grow their own small quantity for personal use.
Definitely yes. It needs to be treated as a medical condition, not a crime. In fact, Portugal actually legalized ALL drugs in their country, with astounding results. They can be seen here http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1893946,00.html
for sho
Heroin, Cocaine, Marijuana were only made illegal because the Government couldn’t figure out a way to tax them..
No and this is about the worst argument Ive ever seen on the subject.
No, no, no.
I say yes since ppl are doing it anyway regardless of what the law says, so we might as well tax them for doing so like we do with smoking
BUT i do think we should control the use in public, like one cannot do it in a public place like what we do with smoking too. Because seriously, drug smells really bad and is just as harmful as second-hand smoking.
