they just need to leegalize drugs
For once I agree with Nuke.
It's just Prohibition all over again.
Is it? If drugs are legalized, it would only mean people acquiring their stuff from a legitimate outlet, which would likely mean individuals needing to meet certain standards before getting their high. Illegal sellers would try to undercut the market and, when demanded to stop, would simply say "No" and continue to operate as normal. Nothing will have changed.
And this is
not Prohibition all over again. Prohibition was stupid, yes, and the stupidity of that ban was eventually realized. It was stupid because we know the effects of alcohol--and, no matter what drink one orders, it's still alcohol, and we have a better understanding of it now than we did decades ago--and for the police and rehab groups, knowing what abuse of alcohol does to a person makes their respective jobs a lot easier.
But if drugs are granted blanket legalization, we will be giving tacit permission for the unwary, the underexperienced, the curious and the drug lords to create and consume new and different breeds of chemicals that could could come with long-term effects far worse than those of alcoholism or even heroin addiction. We could very well end up with addiction disorders the likes of which the world has never seen--or should ever see.
There are, of course, the possible scientific benefits from such free experimentation, but the potential for harm to be wrought before a positive discovery is made is, in my mind, simply too great. Science that harms is not science.
