Drugs aren't inherently good or bad. That's entirely up to the user.

However, the War on Drugs needs to end. We spend an (estimated) $75 billion dollars a year on fighting drugs, as well as paying to incarcerate those in prison because of drug offenses (approximately 50% of the inmate population).

You'd expect the availability and use of illegal drugs to decline after spending that much public money, but that's not the case. Teen drug use is nearly double what it was 15 years ago.

It should be obvious at this point that prohibition doesn't help stop drug use at all, and only increases our already large inmate population. The only people that benefit from prohibition are drug traffickers and politicians.

Just giving you guys something to think about.

(bitching and name-calling from Starbuzz in 5...4...3...2...)

editx3: This link explains what I'm talking about more clearly: Free from the Nightmare of Prohibition

So you are saying that durgs should be legal and people should stop trying to banish them?

Drugs, with the exception of medication, as far as I know, can alter the mental capacity, in a bad way and destroy the knowledge of what's wrong or what's right. People would be murdering from using drugs, and murdering for drugs.

If all drugs, were to become legal and found in common stores like Walmart, then America, Britain, and the rest of the world would be very fucked up, and we'd probably have way more people in jail than now.

By the way, to tell you the truth, I didn't research this. I didn't learn this in school (not entirely), this is common sense, which most drug users (with the exception of medication users) lack.

Wait, so using "common sense" is more reliable of a source of understanding than scientific research is? You sir, are a stereotypical, mindless drone that lets propaganda dictate your thought process.

Look, most drugs are bad for you in excessive amounts. Most people are probably too stupid to know when to quit. However, it's not your life to live, and unless they do something that impedes on the rights of others while under the influence, there should be no drug-related crimes.

Edit: I agree with xptek, completely. Prohibition of drugs (and alcohol during the '20s) is largely unsuccessful. It does absolutely nothing to curtail drug trafficking, selling, and usage. As he said, drug usage among teens is up nearly double than it was just (less than) 2 short decades ago.

Also, watch the fucking link I posted. I didn't upload that movie for you nitwits to pass over it.

whoa.
