drugs are seriously bad for you
one bad reaction to a pill can kill
one pint will hardly have any affect( in most people lol )
drug users create a huge problem for society. a high percentage of criminals are involed in drugs in one way shape or form.
mental health is a huge problem for most hard core drug users.
i not saying alcohol - drink are faultless, not at all in fact our streets are not safe after closing time most nights
however rather than throwing our hands up and saying we give up we cant cope or deal with you. we must continue to strive to help those affected by drugs, users and their friends/families.
we must not create a free for all society where anything goes.
we are adults and have choice but some people make the wrong choices.
laws protect people from criminals and by legalising drugs you are in a round about way legalisiing the actions of people in an altered state( much the same as drunk behaviour, sorry gov i didnt mean to run her over i was drunk etc)
making aware the facts of drugs is a great thing to do but what good does it do to a 15 yr old who dies due to bad reaction...many known cases.
drink and smoke are also addictive but the effects are medically researched and reported. they also do not not need criminal acts to fund.
the effect of drugs on mental health are totally incomplete and research is already showing links to schizoprenia and other mental illness'
lets hope that progress is made and we can combat all of societys ilness'
but meanwhile
dont give up trying |

As long as those compounds have lots of barbed wire and big hungry dogs keeping the morons inside ...sure.
Just think of all the room we'd have on the lanet then! |

Well, yes - but I'm not quite sure that I agree with your reasoning.
People will always take drugs. Legalising and controlling them will at least put the drugs barons out of business. |

Drinking and smoking is very different from taking a hallucinogenic drug that alters your mind. That is the danger. Smoking only relaxes you somewhat. Drinking impairs your vision and speech, motor skills. The hard drugs impair your reasoning and sometimes people see things that aren't there. All of these things are bad for you but to legalize them would be a huge mistake. We already have more deaths from cigarettes and alcohol than we need. Legalizing drugs would increase that number. Some places in Europe have tried this and now the problem is growing at an alarming rate with abusers and young kids getting addicted. To solve the problem we need to get more strict on the users and pushers of drugs and more harsh on the countries supplying them. We have been too lax on drugs for a long time. |

Legalizing hard drugs is a terrible idea. The problem isn't that adults cannot make decisions for themselves, it is that once those decisions are made, innocent people are forced to suffer the repercussions. Smoking cigarettes and drinking beer are not comparable habits to crystal meth, crack, or heroin. I deal with drug addicts on a daily basis, and these are people who are willing to physically hurt their own family members in order to get high. In setting up "drug compounds," (a suggestion I've never heard,) you're advocating for a centralized location where all drug addicts can congregate. This is comparable to city projects, where all the poverty and crime are concentrated in a few blocks, and we've all seen how well that works out. The problem isn't that drugs are hard to obtain. They are in fact very easy to obtain, yet people still kill each other daily in drug-related incidents. Selling drugs at CVS doesn't fix that problem. The government could sell crack for 3 dollars, but there would still be dealers on the street selling better grade crack for 2 dollars.
The war on drugs has failed miserably, but legalization is not the answer. |

that is a good idea in theory, but what do you think america would be like with half of its population drugged up...you think we are lazy now...just wait nd see what happens if they legalize things like marijuana. |

Yes, it has been tried in Holland and is a disaster. Something need to be done about marijuana, but the other drugs are killers. |

if all drugs was legalized wouldnt that push more pressure onto teenagers just as drinking and smoking do most of us have tried drinking before we should have done so why let children get pressured into drugs which could kill them |

Yes, definitely, take a big load off the police, clean up the drugs allowing more people to enjoy them safely, put criminals out of business, create revenue (the revenue from cigarettes is enough to pay for the nhs and the extra money from drugs would more than cover the extra burden from the very low percentage of people who go over the top with drugs). good all round i say.
some people have a lot to say about drugs then say "iv'e never taken drugs" oh really? |

you have just witnessed the gov go to war against iraq, on a pack of lies, right or wrong. you should know by now govs can do anything they want. So why are the drugs stillhere,Because they realise it keeps the young stupid and stops them going against the gov, they could have been done away with years ago the gov need them. |

I think a better way to look at it is to consider whether the prohibition is actually doing anything.
They're illegal, but people are doing them anyway. Even the people caught, tried, convicted, and incarcerated can get drugs in prison, we're not even stopping the ones we're catching. I haven't met any teenagers that would start using drugs if they were legalized. Given the widespread knowledge of the dangers of drug use and addiction, I don't think the punishment is an additional deterrent to people that simply think "It can't happen to me" anyway.
It's not working. It costs money. It's time to pull our "troops" out of the war on drugs. |

you high now, aren't you? No legalizing drugs. People are too irresponsible and immature. Sorry, I wouldn't trust you to be responsible just like I wouldn't trust my best friends. There's nothing good about drugs and there is no act of "being responsible" when taking them. Nope. I think it's good that they're not legal. |

I say why not? Your right. We each as an adult have the right to chose what to do with our own bodies. If you are not forcing it on another person I say its your life to screw up or make "perfect". They do it in Europe, "red zones." I think it would be a great idea, keep it in one place and area so that it doesnt spread all over. It would help keep good neighborhoods good. It may even help the value of homes. If there is no chance of a drug house moving in next door because everyone already knows where it is then people could chose to live around it or move. I mean its kinda what we do to prisoners only this would be a choice to live that kind of life. It may also help cut down on crime in places that are normally fine. Put it all in one place. This is an old theory though and I seriously doubt it will happen. People seem to want to keep "fixing" things the same old way. I guess they have the saying "if first you dont succeed try try again" backwards. I think it means try something new not try the same thing again. |

Well, said Alberto

Well...smokers have started suing tobacco companies, so would addicts be able to sue the Government for not stopping them ? That could cost us a few quid. |
