lil' bitchiness made the point that people are more likely to buy from a legal outlet rather than a dealer like cigarettes, but I know people who buy cigarettes from people who have made it their business to supply discount cigarettes to people unwilling to pay full price, the same thing would happen to drugs. The dealers would find a way to make their stock for cheaper to compete with legal companies which would lead to drugs becoming far more dangerous than they already are.
As it stands right now, as I find it. Anyone who wants drugs can get them without fuss or worry about what they are getting, if they all became legal we would end up poisoning our cities far more than they are being poisoned already. In a nutshell, I'd rather take the good crap than the bad crap.
Storm> And how do the incapacitated drug-users “fend for themselves”, today?
“Consumption will go up dramatically.” Why do you think that is so??
This is the argument I’ve heard a giga-zillion times now. I’ll ask you, as I’ve asked El_Barto. Would YOU start doing drugs, if they were legal?
The good James Q. Wilson doesn’t explain WHY he thinks everyone and their dog will start doing drugs. He ASSUMES this, doesn’t prove it, or give me any reason to believe this will happen, and then goes on a long rant.
Homer_Clone> I may’ve become blind. Where on http://www.nida.nih.gov/ResearchRep...ne/Cocaine.html does it say how many people will get hooked if cocaine was legal?
” and also here for speed:

it reduces food and sleeping habits good? I think not!”
But people are ALREADY doing speed. I’m not saying drugs should be legal, because they’re GOOD for you. No one has made that claim, but you seem to’ve decided that that’s the argument. Drugs are bad for you – nicotine, alcohol, speed, cocaine. But people do them whether or not they’re legal.
Yes, pot impairs driving. SO DOES alcohol. Is your point, that any substance that impairs driving should be illegal??
El_Barto> It’s not the point whether or not it WILL happen. We discuss whether or not it should. Did you run out of arguments?
Patricia> Guns kill people, too. So do cars.
AHEM.........
The Streets - The Irony Of It All
Hello, Hello. My name's Terry and I'm a law abider. There's nothing I like more than getting fired up on a beer. And when the weekend's here I do exercise my right to get paralytic and fight. Good bloke fairly, but I get well lairy when geezers look at me funny, bounce 'em around like bunnies. I'm likely to cause mischief, good clean grief you must believe, and I ain't no thief. Law abiding and all, all legal, and who cares about my liver when it feels good? What you need is some real manhood. Rasher Rasher Barney and Kasha putting ppl's backs up. Public Disorder? I'll give you Public Disorder! I down eight pints and run all over the place, spit in the face of an Officer. See if that bothers you, coz I never broke a law in my life, someday I'm gonna settle down with a wife, come on lads, let's have another fight!!!
Eh, hello. My name's Tim and I'm a criminal. In the eyes of society I need to be in jail for the choice of herbs I inhale. This ain't no wholesale operation. Just a few eighths and some Playstation's my vocation. I pose a threat to the nation and down the station the police hold no patience. Let's talk space and time, I like to get deep sometimes and talk about Einstein and Carl Jung and old Kung Fu movies I'd like to see. Pass the hydrator please...... Yeah, I'm floating on thin air...... Going to Amsterdam in the New Year, top gear there, cause I take pride in my hobby, home-made Bongs using my Engineering Degree, "Dear Leaders, please legalise weed for these reasons.."
Like I was saying to him, I told him, "Top with me and you won't leave!" So I smacked him in the head and downed another Carling, Bada Bada Bing, for the lad's night, mad fight, his face is a sad sight! Vodka and Snake Bite, going on like a right geez, he's a ****! Shouldn't have looked at me like that! Anyways I'm an upstanding citizen, if a War came along I'd be on the front line with them. Can't stand crime neither, all them hooligans on heroin. Drugs and criminals, those thugs on the penny coloured, will be the downfall of society see, I've got all the anger pent up inside of me......
You know I don't see why I should be the criminal, how can something with no recorded fatalities be illegal? And how many deaths are there per year from alcohol? I just completed Gran Tourismo on the hardest setting. We pose no threat on my settee, oooh, the pizza's here, could someone let him in please?We didn't order chicken, not a problem, we'll pick it out, I doubt they meant to mess us about!! After all we're all adults, not louts. As I was saying, we're friendly peaceful people, we're not the ones out there causing trouble, we just sit here in this hazy bubble with our quarters, discussing how beautiful Gail Porter is. MTV, BBC 2, Channel 4 is on till 6 in the morning, then at 6 in the morning the sun dawns and it's my bedtime!
Causing trouble? Your stinking rabble! Boy's saying I'm the lad who's spoiling it! You're on drugs, it really bugs me when people try and tell me I'm the thug, just for getting drunk! I like getting drunk! Coz I'm an upstanding citizen, if a War came along I'd be on the front line with 'em......
Now Terry, you're repeating yourself, but that's ok, drunk people can't help that, a chemical reaction happening inside your brain causes you to forget what you're saying!
What? I know exactly what I'm saying! I'm perfectly sane. You stinking student lame-o! Go get a job, and stop robbing us of our taxes.
Err, well actually, according to research, Government Funding for further education pales in insignificance when compared to how much they spend on repairing leery drunk people at the weekend in Casualty Wards all over the land!
Why you cheeky little swine, c'mere! I'm gonna batter you, c'mere!!
ENOUGH SAID, METHINKS!
Wow! Some of the comments I read are indeed laughable.
samhain> Do you know people who MAKE their own cigarrets and sell them? I highly doubt that!
Why dont you all reflect on prohibition act that banned alcohol in America! Can you tell me how well that worked?!? Why dont you research on the figures of people that died before, during and after the prohibition act of alcohol.
All of the drug related violence and crimes happenes, either because someone is stealing to buy drugs or because of a drug deal gone wrong. Im not making this up, these are my criminal law proffesor's words.
People who died from drugs, die mostly from ill health, which immpurities in drugs bring upon them, some die from AIDS because of sharing needles. Overdose? Last time i checked you can die from alcohol poisoning too, can you not?
Ok, drugs are illegal now, as we speak! So...WHY does the problem still exist if this is such an effective method of dealing with it? Why do people still use drugs, sell drugs, deal drugs and what not?
Illegalising canabis had NOTHING to do with it being a drug.
El_Barto, why exactly is this thread stupid? You dont know if legalisation is or its not going to happen.
