Should all drugs be legalised?

daima~ this is true that it would change the economy. but you can't tell me that legalizing all drugs wouldn't create problems! Think about it , a lot of people don't do drugs just because they are illegal. If they suddenly became legal, what do they have to lose.

alot of people dont do drugs because they are illegal?yeah, And?
It's addiction, not availablity, that leads one to drug abuse.
I say that we allow people to choose their own destiny. When those who get high decide to stop? Let's help them.
If they dont decide to stop? Let us as a civilized society make sure that they have safe, clean access to drugs that are made/prepared as safely as possible. This is about safety, isnt it? Let us make sure that the Heroin that Heroin Addicts use is safe as possible. Or that crack, meth, etc etc. Let us build clinics instead of prisons.
Thats my opinion and i honestly believe that everybody is entitled to it.
Here in America cant have it both ways.
We are either free, or we are drug free.

I apologise for forgetting to answer your last question>
What does one have to lose if drugs were legal? The same things they have to lose with them being illegal, except we wouldnt treat them as criminals and cage them.. We would treat them with love and respect and make sure that we are there to help them when they are ready to change. We dont have to criminalize them because they are sick..., do we?

i reckon most drugs should be legal. Except heroin. I think policing in our country is so bogged down with gun related drug offences. I think that legalising drugs would save a lot of gun crime.
cheers

Why not Crack, Coke and any other harder druge? lol what makes heroin so speical to be the only one to be "Except"?

[halo]

I think if you legalize cannabis other drugs must be legal as well. For '"addictive drugs" Like coke, meth, and heroin. Those should simply be decriminalized IMO. Also i believe whatever punishment for coke should be equal to the punishment for crack. Crack is so easy to make from coke that there is virtually no way to enforce laws harder for crack than coke. If someone wants to smoke crack than they would simply make it from the coke. And meth IMO should be completely illegal because unlike the other drugs where they pretty much only affect the user (physically), they say that in meth labs the fumes from the batch of meth could easily kill or harm someone if accidentally inhaled.

Drugs are just one of many things keeping the poor poor. I'm not going to refuse a drug because it's illegal, but legalization is just blatant oppression.

What is fucked up is when you can walk down the street in and get caught with and ounce of coke and get 30 years but you can kill your own 5 month old baby and only get probation. This happen in atlanta. When you can go to jail longer for none violent than you can for a violent crime that is Fucked up. But we also keep sending the same S.O.B's back into office...

technically speaking I think that all substances should be legal. there should not be any laws that restrict the actions of anyone. the problem with this is that for the most part people are stupid. the global society that we live in is not mature enough to lift all restrictions on it's people. can drugs cause serious harm? yes. should anything that can cause harm be illegal? F*ck no.

drugs should be legal, but people should also be responsible when using them. so until people can be responsible, there need to be certain restrictions.

You took the words right out of my mouth!
