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.

Airdude, yes there are some bad illicit drugs out there that cause a lot of damage, but there are also many that are illegal that shouldn't.

On the flipside, there are are many legal drugs that should not be on the market at all.

I am APPALLED you can simply call Ambien and they will send you a weeks worth for free to practically anyone.

Ambien is a sleep-aid. It is that medication that makes people do strange things at night.

I took it once and I woke up the next day and I had written a 5 page essay on the Spanish Civil War. Some of it was really legible! Strangest thing ever...

I had a friend that took and he rolled his entire apartment with toilet paper and he called the cops thinking someone else did it.

The bad things that have happened are people going out and running and not knowing it, etc.

I've read through all the posts, and I must say, there are a lot of great opinions here, but here's mine:
First, to get acccess to the drugs you must go through a drug course to get a "drug license", in this course you will learn the effects of the drugs, and a lot of useful information.
Everytime you are buying drugs you must show the "drug license", which contains an ID. They scan the card just like a credit, card and see how many you have bought earlier the month (let's say you can buy one a week).
That will hopefully lead to a bit of controll of the ammounts the addicts will use. Although this may not stop the whole organized crime buisneiss, as some people will obviously try to get more then they are allowed to, the income of the organized crime buisneiss will be very limited

sorry if i pointed things out in a bad way, but it's 03:31 AM where i live, and I'm really tired,

There are few flaws to this idea. True addicts can just use other cards or get others to buy for them.

I feel that addicts are always going to be there, so why enforce against them? Instead, control them. Set them in a facility, give them the drug. This gets them off the street, lessens the spread of disease, etc.

Drugs are BAD, they are the cause for many murders, suicides, car accidents, store robberies, ect.

There should not be ANY drug EVER legalized because of what it does to people and what other bad things will happen.

StarScreamer, are you prepared to back that up?

I would hate to list the flaws in your argument and you not return to see it.

Well let me ask you this, what are the good thigns with drugs? What GOOD things do they do to people.

Marijuana has more benefits than negative implications.

- Increases appetite for cancer patients
- Works as a stress reliever
- Helps with glaucoma
- "Resolves conflict by de-emphasizing extreme aggressiveness and stroking the receptive side of human nature"

Just for starters.

Now, there are many illicit drugs that serve no greater purpose. But for you to say that ALL drugs are bad is putting little thought into it.

Well I don't believe in drugs. This another topic that get's me mad just like muslims.

I lost my best freind to drugs. He got high from pot and shot himself thinking that he would just 'spawn' again. It obviously didn't work that way.

I also lost my cousin to a high off of meth. She drove and was killed in a crash.

Im sorry but I just got mad and im not going to post anything else on here.
