Should Drugs Be Made Legal??

AngryHippie

I pretty much agree, although decriminalization and regulation of cannabis and ecstasy probably wouldn't cause the HSE to fly into crisis. It'd also make the coke and H merchants all the easier to catch. It would also generate some revenue from the "recreational" users, of which there are many. the government has made 10 Billion in the last 7 years from cigarettes taxation, and the bill from that is going to be astronomical as it causes some biggies like heart disease and cancer, a bit of doobie and a vaporizer might even reduce demand for ciggies....who knows. But its definitely worth a try for the less harmful ones, It'll make the cops jobs a little easier at least....ever seen a total stoner gettin arrested ? its like watchin those fainting goats

I think some should. Maybe just hash. I think it would be great to be able to go down to your local Spar and say, Hi just the indo (compact edition) and a quarter? Cheers.

But really, no they shouldn't, next question.

legalisation will not happen, it will cost the tax payer too much when the health crisis from all the drug use comes,

as opposed to the billions they're currently spending trying to keep them out of the country and locking people up which costs €90,000 per person per year?

if drugs were to be legalised they would be taxed so high that the dealers will be still able to deal drugs at a fraction of the legal price, so it does not solve the gang problems either

or we could make a note of the fact that that problem could happen and avoid it by not taxing it too high. no? the government has the resources to undercut any scumbag dealer if it so chooses

How a magazine aimed at young stoners sold more copies.

Did you read it?

http://www.slate.com/id/2178795

If I were maximum dictator, I would force every newspaper editor, every magazine editor, and every television producer in the land to read Ben Wallace-Wells' 15,000-word article in the new (Dec. 13) issue of Rolling Stone, titled "How America Lost the War on Drugs."

Yes all drugs should be legal.
consenting adults should not be put in jail unless they physically harm the person or property of a nonconsenting other.

There are many Drugs I think people should not use, but I do not think it is the business of the goverment to ban them. Freedom means to freedom to be foolish or not.
