Legalization of drugs?

[scutzi128]

Love the « already answered » but what I see is you cant answer my questions, and you can’t tell me more than « I’ve outlined already ». Funny people with their funny answers.

« Which you clearly not competent » never said I was, but you should feel very offensed to outline it ahaha

You're making literally no sense and keep acting like a cornered animal.

Criminalizing drugs leads to all of the demand for illicit substances to shift into unregulated black markets. As the global demand exceeds $500 Billion USD yearly there's an inherent incentive for organized crime and industry scale drug trafficking organizations. These go hand in hand with extortion and gun violence (even towards innocent relatives of drug addicts or dealers) as well as use of toxic (potentially deadly) substances to spike drugs with to increase profitability.

Legalizing and regulating drugs would increase purity and thus lower the risks of consumption for ever user. It would also shrink the potential black market to a point where gun crime would no longer be economically viable. Would some kids still find ways to access drugs? Obviously. That will never change and that should not matter to regulators. Appeal to emotion is no more than a dishonest strategy employed to use retards like yourself in the human chess game that is politics. Fact is, even the kids that would still seek out drugs (and find them) if they were legalized would have a substantially lower risk of getting killed or extorted by a dealer on top of being much less likely to gain impure substances that carry additional and unpredictable risks.

I know you need those drugs but it should never be legal. The hardest part of using drugs was to stop relying on it. Being addicted to it can make a person go crazy. We all know what I am talking about. Our government is doing everything they can to stop those drug dealers so why would they make it legal in the first place.There is no way it can happen. I am against it so as everyone.

[Mainman08]

Are you serious? For me i don't like drugs to be legalized. Because you will make drug addicts more free in buying drugs. Drug addicts will do anything just to have drugs. They do illegal activities to have money so that they can buy this drug. So why you make life easier for them.

[BTC-Market]

There are 10 reasons  for legalisation of drugs:
1 Address the real issues
2 Eliminate the criminal market place
3 Massively reduce crime
4 Drug users are a majority
5 Provide access to truthful information and education
6 Make all drug use safer
7 Restore our rights and responsibilities
8 Race and Drugs
9 Global Implications
10 Prohibition doesn't work

For those people who think that drugs should not be sell in a legal way, neither for those people who dont want drugs to be legal, well think again. I am not an illegal drug user and not even pusher. I am just stating the fact that every medicine that we used are drugs! Just, not everybody had the knowledge about it. Every drugs are medicinal, but it should be taken with proper prescription of the doctor. Those drugs that had been banned for medicinal used are actually not totally banned. Like for example, amphetamine,  or even methamphetamine,  there are doctors who allowed their patients to used those medicine but on a lower dosage. Do not just rely on what other people says to banned drugs because in the first place, drugs are has been made to cure illnesses and not to abused by people who only wants higher income to the point that they never think of what will be the consequences.

because of benefits/risks balance. nothing else. for instance, if you use some medication for your cardiac rhythm issue, and you know it can develop glaucoma in very low proportion (let's say 0.01%), but indeed you know that it will make your cardiac rhythm be normal in 100%, then it's very interesting to use it. that's not case of hard drugs.

Most hard drugs are perfectly fine in appropriate dosages and have less risk of harm than alcohol and tobacco, or even prescription drugs.

In fact, psychedelics and MDMA are among the safer substances, both of which have tremendous potential for positive changes in a human's life. They have successfully been shown to be capable of treating addictions, depression, anxiety and PTSD, among other things. The only reason they are illegal is due to a politically and financially driven agenda and widespread propaganda.

Drugs should be legalized. Which doesn't mean all of them would be freely accesible. Light drugs like marijuana should be free, since the damage they cause is lower than that caused by so many legal drugs - alcohol, tobacco, etc - Heavy drugs like heroin should not be free, but they should be legalized nevertheless, which means they should be given under medical control to those who are addicted to it, until they freely decide they want to quit. This would lower deaths to almos zero or so and erase ALL criminal activity conntected with black market. It is called a damage control policy.

[stantpro]

Hard drugs should not be exposed to everyone.Imagine how people
abuse alcoholic drinks by drinking out of proportion and getting drunk.
This is an indicator that people must also abuse hard drugs should it be made
public or accessible by everyone in drug stores.If one abuses hardrugs, it
most likely may lead to health complications.May also lead to death at the extreme
reactions.Therefore, in my opinion, it should be strictly controlled and inaccessible
to every dysfunctional user.

[Analyst101]

While legalization of drugs might expose more people to drugs. It’s possible that it might actually mitigate social problems that are caused by drug problems. For example, by legalizing drugs, the society encourages them to seek help and get counseling. In addition, the society can focus on quality control for drugs to reduce side effects and overdose of hard drugs. Moreover, legalization of hard drugs have positive social effects as well. Although it may seem odd, the Dutch government provide free heroin to addicts because then addicts are less likely to commit crimes to feed their drug habits. Of course, it’s controversial, but it’s an interesting approach.   https://www.rnw.org/archive/free-heroin-brings-everyone-bit-peace

[arcanists]

My vote is a "NO", if they can provide only a proper dosage maybe it can go for a 'YES' but as I see those who really not needed it for medical purposes they will just abuse the usage of it instead of giving a proper use.

If you will just see how 'DRUGS' affected many people specially in Philippines, most of the crime suspect are those under the influence of Drugs. Rapist,Robber,Snatcher's.

[bryan21]

Not all drugs should be legalization. Some of drugs can't sell commercial, because hard drugs very dangerous to exposed. So must filter some drugs where drugs need legalization or not.

[swogerino]

I voted Yes because by legalisation of drugs we fight criminality. A big chunk of criminality nowadays especially in North and South America is because of drug dealers and drug cartels. If we legalise drugs this is a big hit to the business of these cartels and their merciless way of doing things.

For those that say we risk to destroy families, I would raise the minimum age to 21 and then everyone is responsible for their actions. If someone wants to take drugs and damage himself there is nothing we can do, it is that person the only responsible for his life.

I like Western Civilisation way of life so I voted Yes.

[ACVinegar]

Not all drugs should be legalization. Some of drugs can't sell commercial, because hard drugs very dangerous to exposed. So must filter some drugs where drugs need legalization or not.

I voted the same not at all, because if you legalized the drugs in any countries more families will suffered. Addiction of young children will be spread together with the criminality in the whole world. I was not agree because life of some innocent people will be affected.
Commercial selling of drugs for now are prohibited if in case that it will be legalize in different part of the world there's a possibility that even in the TV adds and other advertising center it will show up.

[Leonia-Ridinger]

I voted not all, because what you make legal, probably big pharma companies are going to take and market with some really cool ads making you want to buy them and not emphasizing how harmful they are or can be. Also, I think it would be a good idea to have a "drug license" (like a drivers licence) that you get by going through training and education about different drugs so you are trained how to use them and know what could happen if you abuse them. And age limit of course.

Also, what about smart drugs? One blog post I read said that the first country that starts giving smart drugs to their people for free will get the most benefits as all of their people will be able to do better work, to focus more and be smarter. I like this idea, but I don't think it will really happen ever

[mdayonliner]

If you make speed easy to get: every eg junior doctor and every lorry driver will end up having to take it in order to compete.
And dope: the prozzers will all be forced to take it, and factory workers will all take it.

Thumbs up!

My vote is yes, for those over 18 years of age. I think all drugs should be available over the counter. Instead of creating black markets for drugs, why not have it open market and just propagandize the dangers?

Sorry, mine is no.

[omfg.xekcep]

I believe that 18 years is early for people to make an informed choice. But still I am for legalizing drugs.
I consider it necessary to make from 25 years old or from 23 years.
We need to do something like a prescription from doctors. Only not from doctors. There is a long time to think. I would have done so. To obtain authorization documents, you must go to a society of anonymous drug addicts. As with the rights to control the machine for example. You must walk there from 6 months to 1 year every week. For many, this will discourage the desire to use drugs and they will reconsider their desires. Then the head person should give to you approving documents. With these documents, you must go to a civil servant or doctor. And you get a prescription for some kind of drug. Somehow I imagine it to myself.
Naturally, this should be thought through and organized by people who understand this. Only legalization will eventually solve the problem of drug addiction.
In addition, I am for tougher penalties for the illegal sale of drugs. And for a very serious punishment for the spread of drugs to children, up to the death penalty. Because if a person decides to use drugs, then no one will stop him. Always such people will find drugs. That is, we give people a chance to think about their choice. If they still want, then they should get a license for use drugs

[markint]

I recognize my indecision in this regard, because on the one hand I find it difficult to try to prohibit something that nature produces freely, but that human beings have taken charge of using in an abusive way. But allowing the indiscriminate use of drugs does not seem advisable either for a sick society like ours. I think that the ideal of the human being physically and mentally healthy should not involve the use of any drug, but we are still very far from that ideal and perhaps in the meantime it is convenient to be somewhat permissive with the users of that drug.

[googol.star]

I think drugs should be legal and regulated. With strict warning as to how they can mess a person's life up. It would at least drive violent drug dealers out of business. Of course corporations are in a sense just as bad as people. The people who run them that is.
