It is much better if it is legalised however, as then drugs don't become such a problem and pimping is eradicated too. It becomes a lot more controlled and safer for the prostitutes.Dark knifer said:
In a system where it is illegal you end up getting prostitutes addicted to drugs, women being beaten up and unable to go to the police or anything because they're prostitutes.
It doesn't? aw crap...Amnestic said:
Just wanted to point out that some substances are far more addictive and/or lethal than others.
But more important than controlled distribution is good education in terms of narcotics etc.
These "you will die from cannabis" commercials are just lies no one ever died of cannabis use. Maybe from doing irresponsoble things while being under influence but that is not the substance fault. Taking it was the responsibility of the person. When ran over you don't blame the car that hits you, you blame the driver.
I have no qualms with education, nor with deeper research into the precise short and long term effects on the body from drug use.khululy said:
In fact, I fully endorse it.
Some may be more addictive/lethal than others, but that's each person's choice to make. If they're stupid enough to remove themselves from the gene pool with an OD of heroin, that's their own stupid fault.
I'm sure people have died from cannabis use, just not as many as the adverts try to hint at (I'm pretty certain that too much of anything can be leathal).khululy said:
While legalising and regulating the use of most drugs would be a good idea in theory it has the one issue of how would we introduce this? (it wouldn't instantly resolve all problems related to drug use) Problems like aggressive dealers, people who currently suffer from chronic drug abuse and other related issues will be present even if 'newer' users will be spared.
Legalising everything could work (don't get me wrong) but it would require a hell of a lot of thought and hard work to get it to work the way everyone wants it to.
Also, as for the when a car hits you analogy...it would still be your own damn fault for doing something stupid because it was you who put yourself in that position in the first place (if you attack someone because you're drunk then you can't just appologise to them the next day and say you didn't mean to break their arm).
While I'm not so fussed by the presence of smoking, the legalisation of drinking raises questions because not only is it just as harmful as other drugs but it does in fact alter your behavior in a simmilar way to most narcotics.
Well,cannabis/prostitution/what have you should not be just legalised. They should be professionalised. All neccesary regulation,worker unions,taxes,all that stuff.
And same-sex marriage,of course. Why hold people down if they want to be a family?

As for thing I would really like to see legalised... Miniguns,probably. And high-explosive ammo.

Currently completely unregulated. If it's legal, it's regulated and taxed; you're taking away a vast amount of profit from criminal groups, too. Even if it's just by saying they're not criminals any more. Dealers out of jail, growers out of jail; I could go for all that. And people not having to worry about whether their weed's had dangerous chemicals on it.
I don't drink, I don't smoke cigarettes, and I don't smoke weed, but I have read up on all three, and my conclusion is: either make cigarettes and alcohol illegal, or make weed legal. There is no reason why the least dangerous drug of the three should be the only one that's illegal.

Prostitution, not because I'm a lonely and horny man but because I see no reason it should be illegal. If they legalise it then they can control it and make it better for the prostitutes.
