Should drugs be legalized?

In a way, yes and no. Depends on the substance. But I do believe in the true American way of life and that is simply freedom - wish Bush understood that too :P. There are many substances that I don't like, and I'll never try them. But it's because I've done my research and found out what they are and what they contain. Unfortunately, during school, all one hears is drugs are bad and they kill you. If they were to actually teach what each drug is, what they do, how it affects ya, and keep a neutral view on it, I believe less people would be doing the nasty stuff.

Should cannabis be legal? Hell yea it should be! This world has no right to say that cannabis is illegal while smoking cigs. which is, by far, more dangerous, since they contain only a small amount of tobacco and a ton of crap. Some know the only reason cannabis is illegal because it can be an expensive investment for the government. Imagine, cannabis is legal - no more $60 an 1/8 crap, since everyone can grow it at home, like any other plant. Also there would be less of a chance for someone to accidently get some other substance that could kill them, or injure them.

Should other drugs be legal? Well imagine this: if all drugs were legal, the chances of getting an unknown substance is less since it'll probably be available like any other drug in the pharmacy (which by FDA standards has to be pure). It's funny how individuals tell us that the over-the-counter drugs are different. They're not! I've seen so many people taking Xanax, which is some scary stuff, or individuals living off Advil everyday. If advil or xanax was illegal, these people would be looked upon as drug addicts, lol.

As I mentioned before, we're in a free country, although it isn't really practiced as much anymore with the stupid pointless war going on, so if someone chooses to take drugs, it's their life, their choice. At least if it was legal, they'll be getting a pure version and not some poison on the street. Also by drugs being legal, it'll destroy the black-market since it'll be available to all - therefore cheaper. Teach your children what they are and what they do and they'll say no not because they were taught to say no, but because they know why to say no. So, yes drugs should be all be legal, I'll bet that many will quit because some do like to get drugs for the thrill of getting something that's not allowed.

Alcohol is a drug. Doesn't mean everyone is an alcoholic, just those idiots who over do it all the time. It's the same for drugs. Now certain drugs that form addiction right away, I'm sure you all can guess which ones - including many prescriptions and over-the-counters, they should be banned or at least regulated to prevent addictions. But if they were legal, it'll be the pharmact to regulate them and not some black market jerk who regulates by cutting your (imagine) off. At least that is my two cents.

Theduderino Reviewed by Theduderino on . Should all drugs be legalised? 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 Rating: 5
