What do you think would happen if all drugs became legal?

[Xester]

What would happen if all drugs became legal- referring to illegal drugs of course.  This earth would be like heaven.     Heaven place for criminals, rapist, terrorist, holdups, prostitutes, and the like.  And hell for those who didn't use it.   We know the effect of illegal drugs like methamphetamine and cannabis.  With abusive use of large dosage people will be transported into another world.  A world where fantasy became reality, thus, sometimes they see their victims as an animal or a devil.  Then crime will happened eventually.  If all drugs became legal, maybe after a month, human extinction will follow, and it would be a better place to live in for animals, insects, and plants.

[noictib]

[Gutembergin]

What came first  th chicken or the egg?

if drugs were legal there would be more crime/ if drugs were legal there would be less crime

if they were legal it wouldnt be a crime to use them and maybe people would want to do them less because of that

How poetic, but do you really think people would be alright if they were allowed to do whatever drugs they wanted?

Thats impossible to happen because here in my country almost all drug user are killing by government also those drug lords are arrested and few days died.. So its impossible that drugs are became legal.. but if drugs will became legal.. many people are willing to be drug users and almost drug seller are will be big time if its happen..

[wakinsor]

If drug became legal there will be more crime. Drug became illegal because its side effect not only harm you but people around too.
Brain damage,hallucination,etc.drug affect to work productivity too and drug is not cheap they will use crime or every mean possible to get that.

It's funny. You post this because you want to make it seem like legalizing drugs is insane, yet you've unwittingly made a very strong point for legalization.

What you apparently fail to realize that is drugs like flakka exist because of the war on drugs. Some entrepreneurs mad scientists realized that instead of dealing with the risks of the illegal drug trade, they would just synthesize up a new batch of stuff that isn't on the DEA's list yet. Since these guys typically aren't your model citizens, they also mix the shit with pretty much whatever they want, which leads to a whole slew of problems from adverse side effects to straight up toxicity.

The point is, if "normal" drugs were legal, people could get their hands on the high quality, high purity drugs they were actually after, and there wouldn't really be a market for stuff cooked up in some tweaker's basement lab. No need for flakka when you can go down to the corner store and buy some cheap, potent cocaine. Recreational drug users don't want to die, fight the police, or turn into brain eating zombies, they just want to blow off some steam and have a good time (just like anyone who goes to happy-hour after work).

Anyone who thinks prohibition is a good idea should study the US's alcohol prohibition in the 20s and before long you start to realize that while prohibition isn't ever going to end the demand for a certain good, it will most definitely make everything surrounding the sale and use of that good significantly worse. Flakka is akin to bathtub gin. Guess what happened to the bathtub gin market once prohibition ended.

If all the drugs became legal, government would lose a lot of money because the war on drugs would collapse.

Muh civil asset forfeiture.

[iqlimasyadiqa]

This is a setback in the existing legal system. drugs is dangerous and also gave the strong effects of addiction for all users. If drugs become legal it will be popping up of people who are not credible. my opinion that the drugs can make someone's life be crushed !!

[Mauser]

I read somewhere in the the forum that after the silk road bust, online drugs sales has actually increased. so that got me wondering, what possible outcomes do you see if all drugs became legal? do you think that would make society better? worse? same?

I think once all drugs are legal the prices will start to fall. You don't need to buy your drugs in a dark alley anymore. You can just go to a store. There will be also less criminals involved with the drug when it can be legally imported in a country.

We will probably see more legalization if the weaker drugs.

[bitcoFx]

Drug legal crime is incraese

[drwtsn32]

Worse, a little. But almost the same.
Because people won't use drugs just because they became legal.
A normal person knows that these drugs won't do any good to his body that's why it has become illegal in the first place.

[Galer]

My opinion if drugs become legal.They are many people do a bad thing and they defence or alibi they use drugs and didn't know that he/she do in that day.

[ObscureBean]

It would just increase pressure drastically within society because there would be more at stake for both drugs dealers and drug users. Drugs are a means of escape for some people, it allows them to deal with the insanities of modern society and let off steam/pressure which would otherwise remain trapped within society.
Laws within an imperfect world cannot afford to be too strict because if they are, people start to feel like trapped animals and behaviors become a lot more unpredictable.
If you cut off all breathing holes like petty crimes from society by for example enforcing the death sentence for every little thing, sooner or later the build up of negative energy/pressure would lead to something much worse than all of the smaller crimes combined.

it will be worse if people don't use it wisely. as long as I see, the negative effects of drugs is more than the positive effects. drugs affect your health, your brain, and sometimes make people do crimes, kill, etc.

besides, when you try drugs once, you want it more and more. it will make you lose your consciousness. and voila, you will see many crimes around.
