I think if drugs were legalized we'd have safer pure drugs, no drug dealers, better drug education without propaganda for or against, and instead of billions of dollars going to drug cartels it could go to taxpaying citizens with real jobs and the government could tax the drugs to fund drug education and rehab clinics. More jobs, less crime, less dealers, cleaner drugs, and fewer people in prison simply for possession. And of course they'd still be regulated (i.e. age limits, and you can't DUI on anything). I don't see why the government should have the ability to tell a voting taxpaying citizen what he or she can or can't do with their own body alone at home. |
I can see why you could easily say that for dope or shrooms or a bunch of other drugs but there are some drugs that are more dangerous to other people than to the person taking them, and they should always be banned.
I mean just two of the crimes I can think of in recent times in NZ done by people on P - in one a father beat his daughter to death, in another a man went on a rampage with a samurai sword and cutting off two girls hands and then went and shot a person to death.
