Why do governments feel the need to make drugs illegal? If anything, it causes a lot more problems than there were before. If they were legalized, there would not be nearly as many violent actions over getting them since the prices would not be nearly as high. There would not been as many people over doing it with drugs, since it would eventually just become a normal thing in day-to-day life.
None of them are addicts, it's not ruining any of their lives, and they all have very cool, well paying jobs.
It's certainly true that even with the most addictive drugs, namely cocaine and heroin, the vast majority of the users are recreational.
As a separate argument, the legalisation would enable legitimate pharmacutical companies to improve the quality of drugs available on the market. Improving the highs, reducing the lows and at the same time making them less addictive. Where's the downside?
I wqould rather have someone making almost nothing legally then a ****load of cash illegally.
I would prefer that someone makes billions illegally then someone working ridiculously hard in China making shoes for Yao-Ming in a sweatshop barely making ends meet.

To be honest most people who are against this haven't tried any of these drugs... They are hippocrits who believe wat they want, and what society tells them. I remember back in the day being scared of all these drugs because of what the police told me. Most of what they say is bullsh't and only said to you to scare you. The only book I know of that actually shows us how far you can go into drugs and getting totally mentally f'cked is Nikki Sixx and the herion diaries.... And thats all hard core drugs he was on... Legalizing these drugs would probably help the world ALOT... Like wat firefly said.. Its the truth.. Already weed is used to help MS patients and some cancer patients...
Would you rather have someone making "****loads" of cash legally than someone working hard to make ends meet illegally?
Depends on the situation. I would rather have someone working hard illegally than barely working and making millions legally-though for both people, it depends on what and how they are making the money. All labor has value to it, legal or illegal, but if some drug lord is making millions off of other's addictions when he or she could be working hard and still living a good life without harming anyone, than I'd prefer that. But if the person is being a criminal because it's a way of survival then I'm okay with it. --------
American companies use Chinese labor a lot of the time. The bit about China was valid.
Justr a question, would the outsourced workers conform to USA or Chinese laws? Just curious.

Umm...yes... Illegality is bad. Plus, it was poorly phrased...it's like saying "Let's get a random person...now, would you rather have him making millions legally or just making ends meet illegally?" which isn't a tough question at all.
I get the feeling you are anti-capitolist, and--as I said before--the point of capitalism is so that any poor person could work their way up to become that rich businessperson, as long as they're smart, dilligent, and hard-working.
I think that drugs being illegal has no real downsides ATM, and the drugs that are for medicinal purposes are legal, so what's the problem?

How about the fact that it costs the government some $50 billions a year and they still spot less then 2% of the drug trade in the US. Sounds like a waste of money to me when they could just legalize them and make money. Its not like people arent able to get them now anyway.
Its unfortunate but what we are doing now has failed. We NEED to try something different.
The legalizing of drugs will not only bring about increased revenue to the Government but will also IMPROVE productivity because people will feel less nervous when they are attempting to get a quick fix of "soft drugs"
OK, let me put it this way. Prohibition failed. The war on drugs has failed.
Well, if a war against Hitler failed, would we just give up and let Hitler do whatever the hell he wants? No! We restrategize and launch a new war against Hitler! It is necessary to persevere in the face of a formidable adversary.
It wouldnt be good because people would be going high to work or maybe even school. It would just cause problems
1st off people who are school aged wont be able to buy the drugs. Second Alcohol is legal and people dont show up to work drunk. I mean have some common sense and dont be fucking stupid.

I'm pretty sure the drugs don't go leading genocides against jewish people...
