Hard Drugs should be legal

[Crazed Rabbit]

EDIT: *raises hand for W&F*

I'm really a prohibition nazi. I drink when I go to parties/discos/whatever, but if I had to vote on alcohol prohibition, I'd do it any day. Same goes (Especially, since it has already wrecked apart my parents lives) for tobacco..

You know what the definition of insane is, right? Trying the same thing and expecting different results.

I'm against allowing stupid people to make stupid decisions.

So when do you want your personal government agent to come by and make sure you're getting enough exercise?

The drug war has been a monumental failure. Drugs are not harder to get. Innocent people are dead or robbed by the government. How can it truly be justified that we continue it?

There is absolutely no justification at the moment to keep many hard drugs illegal. However, it all comes down to personal responsibility, every dollar spent on drugs could be spent on something more important, but people don't realize this. I'm not trying to be preachy (eh' each to their own). When it comes to some drugs the whole "my body is my temple" advert is bollocks, and I don't trust the guy down the street to be responsible enough to keep his body within his temple while on a Cocaine High.

What does that setence relate to?

Fortunatly, doing exercise isn't addictive, nor does it cost money. Drugs eventually leads you to stealing (Or doing some other crazy scheme to drain money out something/someone) once you're out of money, because of it's addictedness and cost. Drugs are so, and in such a way this comparison makes little sense.
And how can one say it isn't harder to get? If it was legalized, it would be sold in every major city by shops. With it banned, the only places selling them is only in shifty alleys and in marginalized neighbourhoods.

The usual oft used drivel.

Illegal drugs are more expensive, as you're paying for the fact that getting into the country is complicated. Legal ones would be far less expensive - less crime!

It's already dead easy to get! And it is not from marginalised estates. Cocaine is used by many middle / upper class people. They are not going down darkened alleys. True, some do - perhaps it would be safer for all to g to a shop?

Addictive... ever seen people give up cigarettes or alcohol? And how much do they cost? Tens if not more per day.

surely, you jest.
