| oldschoolfool said: the only convincing arguement I've read so far is that booze and tobacco are legal,then why not the wacky ta-backy. that's a fair and valid argument,but if that's the case,then why stop there. 1 Why not make all forms of prostitution and gambling legal while were at it. 2 Why not lower the age of marriage to 13 and marry animals while were at it. 2 wrongs don't make a right. |
1. I am for, I believe all dugs should be legal as well as prostitution and gambeling (I know this is extreme). But if the government does legalize these things then they can Regulate and Mandate it, Crime would drop dramatically not only cuz Illegal things have become Legal but the crimes commited to promote these Illegal acts would no longer be possible.
- So for an example there would no longer be a Pimp beating on his/her property/prostitute because there would be a Brothel controlling a prostitues engagement or also the fact that many prostutes would now turn to the police if they were Beaten or Raped and would also feel like they could do so now because it would no longer be illegal.
- Another Example of how this would prevent Crimes is preventing Literal warfare between Drug cartels and Organized Criminal Orginizations. Proof of this was In a Discussion Between the President of Mexico and the President of the United States where the Mexican president said to Obama if you want the The organized crime to stop with the Cartel's he said to legalize Marijuana and almost all of the Drug trafficking would stop between Mexico and the United States. (this example goes for every other illegal substance out there I.E cocaine and heroine etc.
- And gambling is easy, look at states where it is legal I.E Navada, New Jersey, indian reservations etc. They all have a surplus of money and aren't nearly in as much debt as the rest of the country. (the state of Navada also has legalized prostitution and has made a huge amount of money because of it)
- One more thought on these examples is to look at countries where these things are legal such as Portugal where drug problem's are treated as medical condition and not a crime to be an addict which has cut the mortality rate of drug overdoses in HALF because of the simple fact that Many forms of Drugs are legal there such as Marijuana and Heroine etc., or the Netherlands where prostitution legal to the fullest extent and there is rarely ever any gruesome crimes such as rape or murder, even in the capitol city of Amsterdam. And also with these countries doing these things they have been the Least affected by the Global recession and even been in more of a surplus then the rest of europe.
- I also just want to add that all of this Is for consenting adult's and every catagory I just went over should be considered for anyone at the age 18 or above, as that is the age when you can go to war.
And with all that saod I respect your Opinion, Maybe not the Reasoning but it is your's and you have every right to believe it and I will not fault you for it, I just have a different one.
