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.

Well, not all drugs are illegal. Some drugs don't need a prescription, so what your saying is why are all drugs illegal. Which is not true. And we legalized all drugs, the world would be a hell hole. Simple as that.


What drugs are legal, except for medicine?

FACT: Caffeine is the most abused drug in the entire world. Not just used, but abused. More people are addicted to caffeine than any other substance.


That is a drug? weird.

I can believe it is most addicting though.

The reason drugs are illegal is cause when used it makes you "High", alcohol is not illegal cause it does not make you "drunk" right off the bat, Being "Drunk" is a sort of High and yes it is illegal to be caught being Publicly intoxicated (Drunk)

Illicit drugs are not illegal because of their potency: the most addictive drug in the world is legal - nicotine.

alcohol is not illegal cause it does not make you "drunk" right off the bat, Being "Drunk" is a sort of High and yes it is illegal to be caught being Publicly intoxicated (Drunk)


Alcohol is not illegal because it of its cultural importance. Whether or not people get drunk immediately or not is irrelevant.

Actually drugs do not kill you over time. Just if you take too many at once.

Its not illegal because we tried out lawing it and it didnt work. (just like how what we are doing now isnt working)
Not because of how long it takes to get a high.

That's not a reason why alcohol is any different from drugs though. Illicit are still equally (and in most cases less) dangerous than alcohol.

The reason many people drink alcohol is to get drunk. Your point? We should make things illegal because of how people want to use certain goods? Many people buy guns to shoot other people, yet guns remain illegal in the US (different argument I know, but just an example).

Its a drug, yeah. Its a stimulant, and you can, in fact, OD on it. Its more hardcore of a drug than weed, WHOOOOAAAA!


Don't need to go all crazy one me.

And most things are more hardcore then weed. That is why I think it should be legal.

Weed is very dangerous too, when you start with weed probably you will continue with harder stuff, it's almost certain.

You need a licence, a very easy licence to get.


not as easy as it seems

drugs = stimulants and depressants = psychological trauma = bad

tried outlawing booz but there were too many people illegally drinking
