Legalization of drugs?

[yoseph]

It's coming to be hard to control the boarder between unallowed and allowed age. Just like alcohol which is OK after 18 years, kids drink it before this age as well, let's be realists. So with drugs it is going to be the same story.

The legalization of all drugs isn't going to do anything to help curb the influence of drug problems in the society. When they have access to drugs that easily, it is going to create a serious drug abuse problem in the society.

i think the reason why some drugs are strictly sold on prescriptions and not otp is to avoid drug abuse, we all understand the implications of abusing drugs, it leads to severallyissues, and damages lots of cells in the human system. Drugs shouldnt be legal, lets keep it this way for the sake of the society at large.

Governments can not control producing the drugs so they can not get taxes from them. This is why governments dont want to drugs are legal.

I vote no. isn't it terrible if all types of drugs are legalized? sold freely? At present, drug abuse is very widespread. especially if it's legalized ?? there will definitely be a lot of crime cases. it certainly will disturb the public too. (yes only according to experience) let it be all in a system like this. better, and more secure. too many negative things seem to be going on, because I have often seen someone's life destroyed by drug abuse which he actually got from the illegal route. if the worst possibilities of legalizing drugs occur, who wants to be responsible?

[yohananaomi]

There should still be regulatory rules for circulation and use so as not to give to all who actually end up being used for misuse, if indeed what needs and is done by people who understand use for good is not a problem, but it is feared that they do not understand the use.

Legalization of drugs is a big mistake, and every country that releases them repents. Because it's something that simply kills people's lives.

Humans have the basic right to make choices for themselves as long as their actions do not harm others.
Individuals who are responsible in a free society must be allowed to choose whether or not they use marijuana. Individual freedom is a fundamental value.

Actually, we see a reverse trend here.

The new federal data shows that adolescent marijuana use fell nationwide in 2016. In no states did the share of teens using pot increase by a significant amount, and in a number, including California, Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey and Texas, rates of teen marijuana use fell considerably.

Use is up, however, among young adults age 18 to 25 and adults age 26 and up. Alcohol use, meanwhile, is falling across the board, according to the federal survey data.

In Colorado, for instance, the number of 18-to-25-year-olds using alcohol on a monthly basis fell by four percentage points between 2014-2015 and 2015-2016. That's the group with the highest propensity to use marijuana, suggesting that a number of young adults are opting to smoke weed instead of get drunk now that the option is available to them.

Agreed entirely.

That's not true. In a lot of legalization legalization here in America, they explicitly define tracking mechanisms for seed to sale.

I don't think there are any drugs that are prohibited and illegal, which is prohibited and illegal is only abuse of these drugs

[Jakson123777]

I'm shocked at the vote.Do people want to use drugs.Some countries have legalized light drugs.But they can be used only in special places.

[joerogers8]

Definitely a no-no for me.  Drugs have been proven to destroy the lives of many people.  Drugs kill.  Families and relationships got broken because of drugs.  I don't even agree with the use of recreational drugs.  In my country, drugs trade will lead to the death penalty and I think this should go on.   

I find it disturbing you want to force your views on others.  I wonder if you have been programmed by your government as it appears if they have the death penalty for drug use they must really run some strong programming on your citizens. 

If someone wants to partake in drugs it's their own damn decision.  You really should stay out of it. 

If the drug user harms someone while under the influence then I'm all for hardcore punishment.  I find it hard to believe people want to dictate what others put in their own bodies.

Not all drugs should be legalized own to the fact the abuse of it, is inevitable. Prior to this, even when it’s not legalized people especially the underage were potential victims and it has also destroyed future leaders.

[visionE2]

i think there should be filter in the circulation of drugs, and for drugs that are often misused must get very strict control

It seems like there's an overwhelming consensus for legalization of most, if not all drugs. If only democracy worked so easily... we'd all have legal, regulated, drugs

Also, Canada legalized weed, which is pretty dope.

[Pmalek]

I say legalise both drugs and prostitution and improve your state budget and get more tax revenue. Look at some of the countries that have legal prostitution: Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium etc... some of the best countries of Europe.
The State of Colorado legalised weed and it has brought them more tax revenue, tourists, there is no need for a black market anymore, crime rates are down related to drug issues. Less people go to prison for using/buying drugs which also means less money will have to be spent on the prison sector, criminal investigations related to drugs etc.

Lets face it, legal or illegal people using drugs will continue using them no matter what the law says. And people who dont use drugs are not going to do so just because they are now legal.

I am against legalisation of drugs, because individuals high on drugs will be too easy to manipulate without them having a single critical thought. It will be too easy for governments to impose onto them whatever the hell they want. A mass of easily led sheep. Not to allow mass use of drugs is a way for a government to protect the people from itself.

I'd argue John McAfee isn't a sheep, and he is a drug user.

There's plenty of evidence that shows drugs make you more paranoid of entities you'd normally trust.

[Therowlingk2]

Not all. Some say drugs are dangerous and some of drugs very effective diseases, depending on how to use it too, can be said to be a disease grower or also a disease healer 

[seoincorporation]

The problem about drugs is the excess. Y you abuse anything in life is bad for you. So, is it bad for us to eat a T-Bone? Nop, isn't bad, but what happens if we eat a T-Bone 2 times each day for one year? then it will be really bad for us. And is just the same with drugs, isn't bad to get an LSD once a year, but is bad if we do it every day or every week.

The problem about legalization are the kids. If kids has access to drugs humanity will be lost. As we can see in USA what happen when kids have access to guns, it will be the same but with drugs. That's a game we don't want to play at all.
