One thing that gets me is the people who say that legalising marijuana (for instance)
will rid the world of drug dealers, etc.
As an ex dealer I don't believe this to be true.
IF pot were legalised it would be heavily regulated & would be illegal to grow at home same as tobacco is (here in Australia anyway)
Therefore users still have to buy it.
The government is likely to charge HUGE amounts for it, partly for profit, partly because they can & partly to discourage people as much as possible.
Therefore dealers will undercut the legal supply... There won't be quite as much profit in it as there is right now but they will still exist.
Also i don't believe in legalising drugs as I have been around them ( & sometimes used them) a lot & I know firsthand the damage they can cause
Opponents of drug legalization, what are your reasons?
