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.

Due to EU legal sovreignty, weed is technically illegal in Holland, but everyone just turns a blind eye to it.


i know a cat who gets his weed from holland or the netherlands somewhere like that and sells it here sells it for like 20 a gram

It's pretty risky though. A few of my mates went there and bought tons of the stuff. They then went back through the channel tunnel, were searched and eventually charged for possession. The border police always search young people going in and out of Holland.

It is. any substance that affects normal bodily function is a drug.

Ahh another age old contreversy... sure u can say that, but chemicals in turkey also causes an increase in certain hormones (which is what drugs do) causing an irregular bodily balance... Which in turn can affect normal body function... So really is Turkey a drug? no...

Drugs are products which involve chemicals together to make a certain chemical reaction. Normally they are taken orally, or bodilly.

Weed in itself is a plant. No added chemicals nothing specially done to it.... Its a plant...

Weed still can be legalized, yet crap like Meth, PCP, LSD, and Crystal Meth cant be legalized or else we would really be screwing ourselves

Underoath i think this is what your getting at but you didn't actually say it
medicinal marijuana can be and is helpful with many medical ailments... nothing can be said for anything else.

Yes but its a DRUG in turkey effects you I think its called Tryptophan.
And turkey (or any food) could (prully) be considered a drug, it starts/effects chemical reactions in the body the only thing is that its not bad for you and its not a toxic effect.

Weed in itself is a plant. No added chemicals nothing specially done to it.... Its a plant...


Opium is a plant would you not consider that a drug?

If everything people died from were illegalized, the world would make no sense.

yeah i now. thats why i do not think saying, that drugs kill, makes it a valid argument.

and i think you should differ between things people did die from, like accident or alergy, and stuff that will kill you. like poison eg.

Drugs aren't illegal because they kill you; they're illegal because they make you do stupid things that could kill others.
