Decriminalising Drugs?

[MickC 1,825]

Legalising drugs helps the government tap into an unused resource,takes power and money away from criminal gangs, removes drug users from having to mix with criminal sources to purchase them etc etc. When the Heroin hit Sweden in the 70s and 80s they couldn't deal with it or the crimes it was causing,so they set up walk in Heroin centres where users could come and go as they needed and get free drugs,needles,advice etc, this tactic is still in use today and still serves the purpose it was set up for.Alcohol and Tobacco are probably the worlds biggest killing drugs but due to the amount of taxes Governments receive from sales they have not been banned and also America did try prohibition but it simply didn't work. People will still get drugs if they legalise them or not,only difference legalising them ,is that the Governments will get there cut of the profits instead of nothing, users will still get drugs no matter what the Law says.

I don't mind. I have many other ways of getting pleasure out of life. Sex being one of the main ways...making money is becoming a close 2nd.

Sex = feeling of euphoria caused by receptors in the brain reacting with chemicals.

Drugs = feeling of euphoria caused by receptors in the brain reacting with chemicals.

The combo can be quite nice as well......

Watched this the other day. What a sad way to live your life if you can even class it as living. I like money as much as the next but couldn't make money and see I was killing someone like that.
