Should all drugs be legalized?!

Victor> The age-limit were lower, but I can’t remember the exact age (I know alcohol required you to be 15, now it’s 16, too).
What it was like before the change? The massive public education on the harmful effects of smoking are beginning to work here – fortunately. I don’t have any statistical numbers on teen-age smoking, but it was my impression fewer kids started smoking as it was loosing it’s “coolness” factor.
But today I saw kids no older that 10 smoking on their way to the subway. It just struck me, since there’s been a lot of attention to the ”No selling cigarettes to kids below the age of 16.”

The “rebellion” of teen-agers have usually always made them turn to what their parents forbid them to do or what society forbids them to do.

Definitely. A fine balance has to be found.

i think all drugs should be legalized but they have to be in a controlled area. like alchohol. if you drive or walk around drunk, your bound to be arrested. that should be the same with drugs. legal drug age should be like 18 so that if you do it, it can screw up your college education so you learn from your mistakes.

Drugs are too boring. I seek something on a much grander scale. Meteor Wrangling! That's my new thing! 😱

i think less people will do drugs if they were legalisedin the words of someone i know taking a risk is fun .. making them legal would take the fun away ... ( this person was very high t the time)

Just for the fact that few people know enough how to deal with drugs (I'm not included in this kind) they should be illegal. I hope sometime they could be legal in order to finish with the traffic.
I think it isn't an "occupation" that you can just taste and move to another subject

Have I posted in this thread? I don't remember.

Yes, I think drugs should be legalized. BUT!, the penalty for using them and the end result of your actions on them would need to result in a more severe punishment.

I am doing a research paper on this. As of what I know right now, I'd say yes, legalize em.

Agreed

Im a liberitarian to a certain extent, legalize them and let people think for themselves

all drugs should be legalized but heavily taxed. really hardcore drugs like heroin should be legal with a perscription and doctor's supervision. THis tends to reduce the prison population, the crime rate, and destroy organized crime. In holland it's called "harm prevention".

Which drug. Medicen drug or smoke drug.
I think that cigerets,weeds,cigars, Should all be bannden and i realy mean it.
Many people are dying from them.

sure why not, hence the fact everyone u see everywhere will be trippin or hallucinatin'.....hey, its all good..

If we hand out free cocain and herion all the druggies will die 💃

Then why do you oppose legalization? You obviously have no compassion for human life, so what's your motivation.

The "druggies" that you refer to were created by criminalization of drugs in the first place. Legal drugs might make some people too chemically-dependant, but they would eliminate most of the drug dealers and would bring people out of the alleys. If you don't need to be afraid of being arrested and shunned for using certain drugs, then you're much less likely to become a thieving, secretive crack-whore.

drugs legalized? no way!!!!!!!!!

Tom Welling supports legalization. Are you saying that he's stupid?

Thank you for having brains 😊 You have restored my faith in humanity...just barely.

legalize pot only.. now
there would be alot less crime!!!

Well keping them legal sure hasnt done much good. Why NOT try it for a bit & see what happens? I would bet $$ that there would be less crime, less broken homes, less money spent on trying & housing those convicted of posession, esp pot.. ITS A PLANT FFS! How much more natural can you get?
