  • Uk doing it of not it was attempted none the less. That is like saying no one is allowed to mention Hitler lost the war unless you are from Germany. That means someone did try to get rid of it. So are you saying we legalize things like speed?

    Drugs create crime since the people under the influence of them often end up with mental problems or are addicted. Some people are born unstable and its not always possible to fix these people.

    So if we legalize every illegal substance we are going to have more unstable people. I think we should try to stay away from creating more mental cases. I don’t see how screwing up more heads is going to stop crime rates.

    • There's no doubt addiction to drugs creates crime. But you get that with or without the legalisation and regulation of drugs, and because something is legal, doesn't mean everybody wants to do it.

      Anyway, I'm not arguing for the legalisation of all drugs. I don't feel like I'm in a good enough position, or knowledgable enough, to confidently say if all drugs were legalised and regulated that would be better.

      However, SOME drugs could easily be legalised with minimum negative impact, and that would be beneficial to society for various reasons.

      I think you should read more about these things; you incorrectly spoke about the origin of alcohol and crack cocaine, and I think perhaps you shouldn't be making such statements without first researching.

      • Legalizing it means more people are able to do it. Which again brings up do you believe in speed or maybe heroin? I did research this.

        • Crack cocaine isn't crystal meth, dumb dumb.

          There's no point discussing this with you.

    • Illegal "Drugs create crime"!
      Legal drugs, even shit like speed and smack, dispensed by the government do not create crime; it is the need for money to buy illegal drugs that creates the crime!
      The British have been dispensing "drugs" legally for nearly half a century and have much less drug related crime and disease than the US. They also have a lot fewer people in jail for drug related crimes, that the taxpayers must support.
      Most unstable people are not created by the drugs, they were unstable long before taking the drugs. They are usually alcoholics as well and their problems will not be solved or alleviated by making drugs harder to come by.
