Hi there
Do you think ALL drugs should be legal.
If drugs were sold OTC there would be an age limit , the purity would remain the same , you would get cheap or free needles and drugs would be cheaper .
Each drug would come with a recommended dosage instead of playing russian roulette with each batch , and a recommended increase in dosage.
Heroin would come with opiate supressors that prevent overdoses , and with a booklet cotaining warnings and information about the drug.
The drugs would come in a blank package , would not be advertised and their packing would be devoid of any actractive designs.
That way crime would be down since the government can mass produce drugs much more easily than criminal gangs , drug use would probably go down ( alchool use mid alchool prohibition ) since drugs woundlt be the forbidden druit( which is appealing to the human psyche , we are drawn to danger especially teenagers) , drugs would be purer , safer and cheaper and murder/crimer rates would be lower.
Ods would go down , aids propagation would go down . Of course one can argue that we would go back to the pre prohibition america in which drug use was rampant , but i think back then people didnt have such a clear picture of each substances dangers and patented medicines would have extremly addictive drugs without users knowledge( things like hunters remedy and so on) , spending money in education and treatment and using the revenue of drug sales to society's benifit would be preferable.
Of course one can argue that we would be maitining addicts that way , there are a lot of alchool adicts and mainly because like tobbacoo the general populace isnt and wasnt´aware of its dangers , we shouldn´t advertise or encourage the use of drugs NEVER we should make them available but educate everyone of their dangers.
Tobbaco and alchool should never have been advertised or encouraged , and just because the govt suplies the drug it doenst mean that it shouldnt look to treat it´s abusers .
I think the pros outweight the cons overall.
What do you think?
