should drugs be legal ?

[graysblue]

in this day and age where its legal for people to drink into oblivion and cost the taxpayer shedloads with policing and hospital care,or its allowed for people to eat crap and have many health problems which again costs bundles.

is it time to legalise all substances.

my view is simply yes.

stats state that all crime ie theft ect the culprit in 60% of crime are doing it to get cash for more gear,in addition its believed every single weekend night over 500,000 are snorting/swallowing drugs.

the goverments of this world could make the stuff fairly safe and very cheap and flog it on ie special premises where persons can obtain their fix/stash.

prohibition simply fails as the streets are laden with cut dodgy gear which users gleefully buy.

after all if anyone wants to do drugs.........why try and stop them.

of course if this ever became legal,schools would have to educate kids from a young age telling them the downfalls of drugs and ramming home the message.

todays clever gangsters have ditched drugs for smuggling booze/fags which is very lucrative but does not carry long jail terms.

apologies then,

what was the general outcome.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Yes. Drugs made compulsory and free E's all round.

 

[canveyshrimper]

IMO it's a bit like legalising murder, take the mystique away from it and we'll all be drug free, God fearing non violent citizens.

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

I say Legalize Prostitution and put Tarquin Fauntleroy out of business!!!

I can't remember, what gets me is when people with no actual experience of taking drugs themselves passing judgement.

playing devils advocate, we dont know that they have no experience

Or people who can't see the hypocrisy of the legal drugs causing substantially more problems than those that are outlawed and them theselves partaking in consumption of it.

Alcohol must be ok, 'cos its advertised by beautiful people.

I thought most of the Cabinet and Shadow Cabinet had admitted to having tried illegal drugs at one stage or another.

Obviously under the law of the land at the moment (which they all apparently support) they should be criminalised for this and received criminal records.

i was young once upon a time and to be fair it was bloody decent fun,none of us caused any trouble or cost the taxpayer money.

yet when we went on the lash there was always agg.

I think that's a silly argument. That's like saying you should only be a VP if you've been abroad.

Oh.

I'd love to live in a country where you can get on the phone, order your smoke and they'll deliver it to your door. (I wouldn't get in to Holland at the moment).

 

[graysblue]

any danger if you all could actually say after you have said your piece.

either make them legal or not.


or could someone put up a poll?because i have no idea on how to.

I don't think it is about the taste mate......i think it is about cause and effect!!
