Should all drugs be legalised?

MrDevious, I completely agree with your entire system. Marijuana should be legal, but meth and heroin and such should most definitely remain illegal. They are awful for you and almost guarantee a negative shift in ones life. People who try drugs beyond hallucinagins need to have more respect for their bodies.

i agree with that

but then again, some can handle it, some can't

I think weed and hallucinogens should be legal,and the heavier stuff illegal

I heard in canada that they administer herion to addicts because they prefer that they get the drug from a safe place instead of on the street

i always thought thats actually a good idea

some people just won't change but I think that something like that is a lot better than them going out and risking an accidental overdose

All legal
The licenses would be a good idea, but won't always ensure 'responsible' ppl, there are plenty of shit drivers out there with licenses, and its not exactly hard to drive a car without a license, albeit illegaly, can still be done as long as you don't get caught. With drugs all you will have to do is use the substance and thats it, you won't get prosecuted at all, so,if anything all the illegal users will have more substances if they were legalized but only to licensed users. People will do what they want anyway, some people just won't take heroin, and will prefer the effects of certain drugs, there are plenty of ppl who have used an entire catelogue of drugs, but ended up being an alcoholic. Some people will naturally inhibit there use to stay away from the long term negative effects, others like we see in modern day society, won't. Like the alcoholics we see on the streets, but many hold down business jobs, same with other drug addictions, had a few teachers who were alcoholics. Everyone expects it to turn in to armageddon, smackheads roaming the streets, stealing for there next fix, needles everywhere, but why would they be stealing? and why would they shoot in the street? if the stuff was legal, and didn't interfere with gettin a job, then the smackhead roaming the streets would be of the same mind as the average mugger, stealin cuz he's a prick, not cuz he has no other means of gettin money, and he'd shoot at home mostly, as what I've heard from heroin it just makes you completely content with everything, most choosing to lie down and let it ride over them. There's crime now, there's drugs now, and its illegal, if there was no law this shit would still be happening, but the need for crime would decrease because it wouldn't be as beneficial, because it would be available everywhere, and there's ALWAYS going to be drugs, every civilization in the world has a drug, and we seek recreation, people know heroin is out there, and pills and the like are easy as shit to get, and people do tek em, but most, use it on weekends, or monthly, occasionally more, I don't think it would particularly change very much.

i believe all natural substances should be legal, man made drugs should remain illegal. Simple as.

Soft drugs should be legal. These include, weed, coke, E, shrooms, acid, speed, Valium and any other perscription ones. They should also make a DXM pill. Then people would buy these easily, and not have to go to a dealer and have the option to buy harder drugs. Because Hollland did it the number of hard drug Addicts fell dramaticly.

Opiates are natural and we all know how many problems are caused in society because of heroin abuse.Just because something is natural doesn't make it harmless and allowing everyone free access to all drugs is really asking for trouble.
The relatively safe drugs are in my opinion Grass,E and shrooms but I don't think we should take anything for granted.

it would cut down on gun crimes. but rehab costs would shoot through the roof. think about it.

hey guys what do you want to do tonight....well lets go down to 7/11 get some blow, weed, acid, and e. and see what happens.

The only people who use drugs are those who do drugs. Legal drugs would cripple the world economy and wall street. Illegal drugs keeps wall street afloat. I believe that only oil surpasses the money gained from illegal drugs.
It is a huge muti billion $$ per year industry and it is now used to enslave those in the justice system. Prsion labor is on the rise, and what a better inmate than those on pot, heroin, coke, etc etc>? a few months clean and they make great corporate slaves. Privatized prisons baby. Bye Bye miss american pie

dai*ma Outlaw greed, the lust for power, and the need to control others. Those are the dangerous folks:thumbsup:

If it's natural, legalize it and handle it like alcohol. If it's manmade, like meth, then decrimalize it and leave it alone. Then enforce DUI laws. I don't have an issue with people using these substances but do it responsibly and in private. If you use and drive you put others at risk...just like with alcohol.

It is not the governments responsibility to educate us. If we want to do stupid things then so be it...so long as we don't endanger anyone else or infringe on their rights.

I've got mixed feeling about this.

Firstly obviously some things like cannabis should be legalised however things like crack, meth etc. I'd have to have a good think about and even then I don't think I'd know the answer.

One the hand I feel that people should have the right to put any substance they want into their own bodies good or bad, and legalisation would bring about alot more revenue for the government to spend money on things like policeing and better education especially on things like drugs.

However legalisation would probably bring about a massive increase in the usage of hard drugs which may lead to crime and almost certainly health issue and/or personal problems especially involving family.

The question is should someone be allowed to make thier own mistakes or should they be prevented from having the choice.
