The topic says it all.

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.

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


Umm...it's called an analogy...people have made analogies between the plight of the gays and the plight of black people, but the gay people were never enslaved...just because it's not exactly the same that doesn't mean the lesson does not apply, good sir.

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.


Hitler and are not the same thing. But I could just compare drugs to the Vietnam War we lost ended to war and nothing bad happened.

Let me us go back to prohibition. Lasted ten years or so. Alcohol use went up. Gang violence went up.
When they ended prohibition things got better. Chaos didnt happen the world didnt end people just kept drinking but this time there werent criminals

People! The point of the analogy is that you're saying "our current techniques for dealing with drugs doesn't work, therefore the only possible answer is to make them legal. There are alternatives!!

Ok I did some research but not a whole lot. It would help because it would get all the gangs and stuff more shown and stuff, also they wpuld run out of bussiness in a few decades. But by then est. wise 1 million would have died from marjuana.And gangs would make a lot of money then lose it all...

Drugs have been around for ever and ever and ever people used to think opium was a gift form god for fuck sake. Alexander the great gave I to his army so they could sleep they didnt stop fighting because they were too lazy they conquered to fucking world! There is no way to fight them you can only make sure people are using them safely. It like a war on trans fats its just useless.

Well, here's my list o' alternatives:

HOW TO DEAL WITH THE DRUG PROBLEM

We could:
~Re-Organize police forces
~Use military force in a large sweep of drug gangs/cartels
~Double our attempts to secure the borders.
~Conduct drugs tests on imported cargo at 25 ft³ intervals
~Replace drug-related jail sentences with fines which would further fund the anti-drug policies
~Further the use of methods involving undercover police men to find drug-dealers
~Heavier consequences for drug sale and abuse
~Make "National Anti-Marijuana Day" to counter 4/20
~Harshly interrogate those in-custody associated with drug networks to find and eliminate whole chunks of the drug problem at a time
~Work with our bordering countries (Canada and Mexico) to prevent drug imports there


Phew! There! Plenty of ways to strengthen our fight against drugs!

~Re-Organize police forces


gangs will adapt and re-organize too

~Use military force in a large sweep of drug gangs/cartels


that would mean we would fight a real war here in America, if that happens there would be a fucking rebellion.

~Double our attempts to secure the borders.


Dealers will just triple there efforts to cross the borders

~Conduct drugs tests on imported cargo at 25 ftó intervals


They will just find ways to go around them

~Replace drug-related jail sentences with fines which would further fund the anti-drug policies


I agree with that one

~Further the use of methods involving undercover police men to find drug-dealers


Gangâs will become more cautious

~Heavier consequences for drug sale and abuse


That is contradict your fifth plan wouldnât it?

~Make "National Anti-Marijuana Day" to counter 4/20


So you need false negative propaganda eh?

~Harshly interrogate those in-custody associated with drug networks to find and eliminate whole chunks of the drug problem at a time


Dont forget there is a constitution telling us what we can and cannot do

~Work with our bordering countries (Canada and Mexico) to prevent drug imports there


Once again, they will continue to get around them. That is what will always happen. There make like a 1000% profit when they deal. There is no way to stop it without completely abolishing freedom.

Do you know how much that would all cost anyway?

well, they should make it legal, at one cost, no alcohol, because if your high chances are your not gonna drive, you be to busy laughing at your friend peeing of your roof into the neighbors bedroom window, where drinking youll drive and probably kill someone

I don't see the point of legalizing drugs. Sure, people do them anyway, but that doesn't make it right. If they were legalized even more people would be doing them and as we all know, the effects of drugs are not positive. We don't need even more trouble with the drug addicts.

They already tried banning alcohol, didn't work too well and caused much, much more trouble than it was worth. Also, people would still drink it illegally and you would have someone mixing alcohol with other drugs. Thus, creating a much higher risk of death.
