legalize ALL drugs! email this discussion to a friend?

I was debating with a couple people on moral laws, and the topic turned to drugs...

"if drugs become legal, the price of drugs would drop significantly.

drug stores would take over that industry, and the mafia and gangs could not compete with a legit company.

the 'bad guys' would go out of biz because they would need to compete with these guys. there would be no need for them to send drug dealers standing next to our schools, it would simply be unprofitable."

if drugs are legalized, there would be no need for them to lie, kill, and steal or even work for the drug dealer/mafia/gang. Why? ITS CHEAP AS HELL.

if they want to waste their life getting high, its completly their decision! and its cheap! A few cents here, a hit their..

druggies wouldnt do anything to stop them from getting high, and they are totally aware that there are no drugs in jail, so they would avoid that completly if drugs are cheap.

Most illicit drugs already are cheap as hell, that is why people use them, rather than drugs that need a prescription because they are quite pricey. I dont think legalizing drugs will at all make gangs and mafia stop selling them. In our economy it is all about supply and demand, not matter what the product that is what drives the price. Since there will always be a demand for these drugs we need to get rid of the supply.

Just as the failure of prohibition showed us, outlawing a high-demand substance will only drive the manufacturing and selling of that product underground. Criminals will profit, as people will pay top dollar for something they can't get anywhere else.

While it won't get rid of all drug-related gang activity, it would be foolish to think it wouldn't decrease it greatly. What's the point of buying from an illegal seller when you can get it legally at your local pharmacy?

More importantly, though, it is not the job of the government to control what we put into our bodies. It should be to make sure our actions do not directly harm others, and to respect our liberties. Drugs should be decriminalized not just because it will decrease drug-related gang activity, but because the government should have no authority over what we do to our bodies.

I agree, but i would go a step further saying that it will indeed stop all drug gangs...

do any gangs sell alcohol?

It would also free up the courts time by not having to prosecute people who partake in drugs. It would free up a lot of police resources that instead of busting someone for smoking a joint they could be out there getting violent criminals off the street.

Of course. If the drugs become legal, the traffic don“t will exist anymore.

You have a valid point in your arguments,because of this drug problem,many people are killed because of money,many respected persons are bribed and became unrespected,many students don't finish their studies and their future is uncertain,many homes are broken.Maybe it is time to legalize drugs with certain precautions like prohibited to minors.
