I voted 'Decriminalise use and supply'.


Hmm, I'm the only one who did so. Two concerns are behind my vote:

1) Frustration over criminalization of drugs and the effect this has on law and order.

Notably:
- the strain on law enforcement,
- the huge profits. Unsolvable. The more drugs are interecpted, the higher the price becomes.
- the trickling upwards of these billions and billions, which undermines the legal economy. This effect must not be underestimated.
- the destabilising effect on producing countries. See: Colombia and Afghanistan.
- crime, and the formation and perpetuation of sensitive urban areas / ghetto's.


2) Drugs are bad.

Much worse, I think, than many proponents of legalization argue. This includes alchol, which I think comes at the highest social cost of all drugs.
Drugs are explosive goods, and need to be tightly monitored by the government. I am not in favour of the somewhat arbitrary division of alcohol legal and cannabis illegal. Both need to be monitored closely.
