Should we legalise all drugs ? -

[Tinytiny]

I think so.
Of course, they're all very harmful and all, but people are buying them anyway, and it's creating a lot of criminal activities. If users didn't risk anything for consumption, it would be easier for them to ask for help and get sober too. Honestly i don't see the point in making people face jail sentences for being sick, it's not even dissuading for anyone.

Legalization just means that Mon.santo and other megacorps will be selling designer recreational drugs to morons. Would be a shit world. We have to make rules because without them the weak would bring down the strong.

without drug laws though, more blacks would roam the streets and get lighter prison sentences.

i also don't buy the idea that people's behaviors won't change much if they were made legal. just look at the opiod crisis: those things are legal, and if they weren't the problem probably wouldnt be as bad because fewer people would have access to them.

Legalize all the things, remove all the warning labels. Natural selection should be supported, not thwarted.

Weed is illegal, everyone's doing it. And people who want to get hard drugs get them, it's not that hard to find ; tbh if you're not seeing any of it it's because you're not the kind of people who buys.
From what i looked up, in countries with harm-reduction policies there's a lot less addictions than in active punishing policies.

Weed is legal here in Canada which I think is fair. I honestly believe that pure MDMA should be legalized for therapeutic use (some psychedelics may also fit this bill). But hard narcotics like coke, heroin, meth, etc.., hell no.

Letting heroin addicts use the bathroom worked out so well at protecting Starbucks employees from catching STDs, we should just do it everywhere.

On the top layer it seems fine, letting the retards and addicts off them selves. (I’ve got a few in my family that I know I wouldn’t miss), and I’m sure the restrictions on some softer drugs like pot is the work of big pharma companies and the DEA and such.

However legalizing the hard shit will mean ease of access, do you really think making a drug that is hard to detect, knocks you unconscious and causes you to wake up with no memory of what happened, as easy to access as alcohol a good idea. or the main problem of drugs getting into places or hands they shouldn’t be, most hard drugs don’t need as much as a 6pack or a whole container to kill you one or two is enough.

 

[lameandgay2]

Yes. Legalize them all.

I've seen dealers ruin so many lives and so many lives cut short by bad batches. I don't trust the government with a lot of things but I would trust them to legalize, produce and tax drugs.

Cyanide is a toxic substance not a drug. Sorry to rain on your suicide parade.

cyanide will bring you death, and death will bring you ecstasy

how is it not a drug?

Not all alcoholics have an easy time asking for help or getting sober, and alcohol is legal.

I've always like Carlin's idea.

Dude, go to the nearest 7/11 and buy an AR-15 for like 400 bucks. Then make it automatic just for the lulz. Then use yourself as target practice. Easy solution.

I think that regulations must be under closer supervision for more dangerous drugs, but i don't think that dealers care that much about you oding or not, government will. Access to dangerous drugs is actually easy, and making it legal doesn't mean making it common. By replacing dealers with actual trained professionals, you actually know what's in those drugs. Because street dealers often use dangerous substances to cut what they sell you, or other drugs to make it more addictive.

I think euthanasia should be legal too, but that's another story. Cyanide isn't really a drug.

I know, i have alcoholic friends and i've been struggling with addictions, especially to benzos and antidepressants. Asking for help is never easy, but it's even harder when you know that'll put you in more trouble than keeping addicted.

do0d guns aren't drugs

that's what the DARE program told me

 

[Cinderblock]

You are right OhGoy. Drugs are dangerous.

 

[Snuckening]

Prohibition is useless- we should have learned by the 1920s, all prohibition does is make organized crime rich, in a way that hides them from any oversight, and create a hugely bloated police/legal/penal system that's a bottomless pit for tax dollars.

 

[UncleFart]

Sounds like a great way to deal with the impending population/finite natural resources problem
