Should drugs be made Legal Like? - Page 3

Sure why not, Smuggling, stealing only happens because of illegality of drugs doesnt eh? The drug dealers wont profit if drugs were made legal, the black market would go down the hill - drugs such as nicotine and alcohol that is perhaps more addictive and dangerous is readily available why not illegal drugs - especially the C class drugs such as Hash, Coke etc.

I don't know exactly what is the meaning of more addictive. However, the fact is there are better measures like catching the smugglers to prevent smuggling.We shouldn't be thinking about the profit the drug dealers make and how we can reduce it, we should concentrate on catching them,isn't it ?

Nicotine is the most addictive drug yet legal compared to some of the less addictive illegal drugs...and how exactly are we planning to catch the smugglers? why not catch the terrorist, the don and all other bad people in the world eh ? 😆 the problem is we cant just cos there are soo many in the black-market - if we make drugs legal, we are basically taking their employment from them  -They sell mixed drugs that is the most harmful for the body, plus sell it more expensive and to the underage - atleast making drugs legal would prevent all that, it would be cheaper so less crimes would have to be committed by addicts to feed on their habits, there would be an age restriction to it, preventing underage addicts - also selling pure drugs legally would cause less harms to the body.

Follow my path?  😆

It seems more like a shortcut😆

I'll just say that i am in support of illegalising even those "less addictive drugs" . I am ill equipped with the knowledge about drug dealers, but i am against legalising anything that is wrong.

Moreover,i am not so sure about the fact that ready availability of drugs won't increase drug addicts. Indeed i am quite sure of the opposite.

Regarding taking employment of drug dealers away in this fashion, i think first of all catching them is the best, however it seems to be a poor idea. Anyways, if you take employment of drug dealers away , do you think they will follow some very good legal path thereon ?

Cloddy !

Well taking their employment away is getting rid of Illegal aspect of their life, following other path such as what>? terrorists, robbers etc? well bad would remain bad forever - there is a chance they could be re-formed if given the opportunity of better employment from the government etc/

Readily available drugs i doubt would increase the addicts, the people who want to became addicts do so illegally - others morals and ethics would come first before they sniff something illegally etc - at-least making them readily available would reduce the under-age addicts and 90% of drug related crimes.

I don't buy that.

Did you read the entire bhashan I had posted.

Its more than meets the eye. Its not as simplistic as "reducing smuggling". We have to assess what harms are being caused to society by banning drugs vs what harms will be caused by allowing drugs.

Thats some promotion indeed ! - there is a chance they could be re-formed if given the opportunity of better employment from the government etc/  But U urself said above that bad will remain bad forever or have U changed ur mind 😉 😆

instead of teaching why drugs is bad for you in some boring lecture rooms why not show the students some real junkie and their life - im sure that would turn many off.
