    The war on drugs has well and truely been lost. America has been fighting drugs for decades longer than us and has not stopped its encroachment on society and it never will.

    I think we need to legalise drugs for the following reasons

    1) Bring in tax to the economy which is much needed
    2) Free up garda resources to deal with other crime
    3) Standardise the drugs so that they are much safer than normal to consume, as in since they won't have all the extra crap(rat poison, washing powder etc) in them they will be safer to consume
    4) Get rid of the drug dealers that are such a blight on our society. I would antipate a massive fall in murders etc

    I think this could work in a pharmacist kind of way. The goverment supplies the pharmacies with the drugs( which they grow in protected green houses) and then the pharmacies can sell them on. The governement brings in hundreds of millions in taxes and creates thousands of jobs, also possibly increasing tourism like amsterdam.

    Anyone have any ideas on if this could work?

    *facepalm*

    This is a society where heroin is ILLEGAL! Everything is fine and dandy with prohibition is it?

    There are no junkies on Dublin streets because they told us it is illegal to do so. :P

    Take your head out.

    The only person that need to take there head out is you and follow the thread. That staged was passed when I ate the moths knickers.

    Get the picture! :p

    To be fair crime was already on the increase before both those periods. But the massive, sudden drop as soon as prohibition ended does show how many people turned their backs on crime at this point.
