Should all drugs be legalized?

[northside7]

Fully legalize cannabis. It shouldn't be illegal in the first place.

Make tobacco illegal.

On Thanksgiving I got to smoke with my cousin who I had not seen in over a decade. She said she had lived in Seattle where weed was legal. She said you can buy blunts already rolled. She said you can even buy a nickel bag ($5).

I think weed should be legal with one condition: you have to have a high school diploma or G.E.D. The worst thing you can do is drop out of high school and smoke weed. Dropping out of high school and smoking weed should absolutely be illegal.

As far as the harder stuff, like coke and heroin, Do it by education level. If you have a Bachelor's degree you should be able to buy it and if you have an advanced degree like a J.D., M.D., Ph.D or MBA you can sell it. This will encourage people to go to college and get an education.

Also, if you have military experience or a member of a union you should be able to buy it.

By juxtaposing drugs with education we'd encourage people to go to college and be a productive member of society. The problem with drugs now, in 2017 is that unproductive people do drugs. That's the problem. I'm not sure what came first the chicken or the egg, are people unproductive because they do drugs? Or do people do drugs, which makes them unproductive?

I worked at an investment banking firm in Manhattan a few years ago. All the stockbrokers did drugs but they were able to manage. On the other end of the spectrum, I currently live in Trenton and there are people who stand outside all day and do what appears to be nothing.

My point is that you should have to be a productive member of society to use drugs. You can't be a bum on the corner and buy drugs.

This is fucking stupid. You mentioned this dumb shit before..

Yeah, that's not happening.

Follow Portugal model on drugs

 

[mryounggun]

Been saying this for years. Weed, coke, molly, ecstasy, etc, etc, - pretty much everything but heroin - should be legalized, taxed and regulated.

That'd kill this fake drug war we've got going on.

 

[Ounceman]

The drug war is and has been a failure since its emergence. History has shown that prohibition does not work. Drug use/abuse should be treated as a health problem. Not a criminal one

People who do drugs will do drugs if they are legal or not, how many of us think to ourselves "I really wanna smoke some crack but it's illegal so fuck that I'm just gonna eat a banana and go to the gym " they will do that shit regardless, we need to tackle the problem with the youth the stop the users. It is up to us the clean up our own communities.

Most don't know where to get crack especially internationally.

I don't Manchester ever had a crack problem. But i bet you if it was easily obtainable, some 13 year old wouldve bought if and peered pressured each other into smoking ut.

Manchester can be a fucked up place we have murders and drug problems too, I am from a small town not far from Manchester and it has a bad rep like other places do, all cities including London also have it's dark sides we are far from tea and crumpets, not trying to sound hard but many many places all over the world are being messed up because of drugs it is a growing disease we need to stomp out.

 

[semi-auto-mato]

Legalize it all. My cyber Monday sell would be crazy

I know everybody got hoods. I wasn't implying that your area was soft. I've been to London many times and I know they dont play.

I was just asking that y'all specially didn't have an crack epidemic.

Which can be quite different from other drug epidemics because of how cheap it is.

Also it's not hard to make either.

Lmao I know what spice is. Coincidentally I smoked it back in 08 when I was 16 in Europe.

An associate just told me it was stronger weed and we belived it. It fried our brains damn near but the high only lasted an hour or so.

What did I do?

I smoked that shit again.

I was fairly naive, impressionable and didnt care about life as a teen. But spice is called K2 now right? I heard its stronger today and people get sent to the hospital. I never had feeling. But I didn't like it either. Turned me off from weed completely

Yep that shit looks like weed and no doubt that shit has gotten stronger over the years this little mini documentary is worth a watch.

Busta you are a dark horse you smoking spice in London and shit, you clean now?

 

[Busta Carmichael]

Busta you are a dark horse you smoking spice in London and shit, you clean now?

Lol nah that was years ago. Yeah I'm clean.

I never had an addiction or habit with any drug I've done. It was mostly random teenage shit. Haven't even smoked weed in years.

Glad to hear it I am the same except I smoke a little weed when the sun goes down.

Let's keep it real as easy as it is to get certain drugs the shit might as well be legal...

Im for maybe not legalizing everything but decriminalize it and make substance abuse a health issue. Legalizing it sounds shady the closer we get to weed legalization. Like seriously do you want the government involved/in charge of the manufacturing and sale of your coke? You trust the govt to give you quality illicit drugs? The way they are already starting to kick ppl outa their own "legal" marijuana grow farms and shit...I'm cool on that.

I understand this and one part of me agrees with you

But the other part thinks if they are going to legalize all drugs ....there need to be regulations.

Of course I do not want Abbott growing and selling me my *insert drug* but I also don't want Jim the dealer lacing it up with some chemical that he thinks makes me high and that makes me sick or worse and there is no laws to stop him because it's not regulated.

Now Texas needs to get with it. Legalizing weed is the future and these states who have done it are successful. All the other drugs I would be perfectly fine with them being illegal. No one dies from smoking weed

And before anyone posts some random one in a Million story ........ its by far a waaayyyy lower number than any other drug out here

Literally the only reason I would say don't legalize it is cuz I don't trust government to be benevolent overseers. They aint gon just let drug dealer Bobby rock if it comes out that he cornered the market and got the best product by leaps and bounds. Government gon try to take their cut by any means necessary. They started a fuckin war so they could control poppy fields in the middle east lol. Like ppl are still getting knocked on bullshit weed charges in states where it's legal and rewriting laws to make it harder to be a grower.

So while I have no issues with regular drugs cuz ppl gon do what they do regardless...putting it in the government's hands don't sit well with me. For domestic and international reasons...
