Do you think that the prohibition of drugs (the fact that drugs are unregulated by the government) works?


-- Posted by zluvsanime at 7:29 am on Jan. 5, 2009

all that will do is creat more crime

You talking about prohibition or regulation?

If their is not a legal way to get these drugs, this shall breed a black market and an economy.

If it is legal in its own way, the economical parts are out of the picture almost bankrupting certain people, such as Afghanistan who pushes out alot of poppy a year that is turned into heroin. South America where Coca fields are a multimillion dollar bussiness and make millions of dollars.

And it goes on and on.

making all drugs illigal wont stop anything, people will still be using them, however more people will be sent to prison simply because they refused to stop

Agreed =)

Also, prohibition just puts money into organised crime through the black market. I ask myself why both drug dealers and police wish to see drugs remained prohibited. I understand the dealer's reason, but why would the police want to grant a criminal his wishes?

Berend the dealer is but a pawn in this market, the men we should focus on are men, who control the market.  Such as the ones as I stated who ship the poppy from Afghanistan and Pakistan for it can become Heroin, for the people who send the Coca from South America for it can be cocaine.

Those are the people who we need to focus on.

ummmmm, cuz the government is stupid and if they actually do their job, eventually they wont have a job

Not at all.  It causes more problems if anything.  The government sucks are regulating things, but criminals are even worse.


-- Posted by Afu at 10:28 am on Jan. 5, 2009

Thier hasnt been a 'Yes' answer yet.


-- Posted by MushroomSatsujin at 10:59 am on Jan. 5, 2009

Because a HUGE percentage of crime is drug-related, if drugs were made legal i think there would be a lot of lay-offs at the police force... ever wondered why it's only retired police officers that speak out against prohibition   ?

Nope.
