What if drugs were legal??

[Shrooomish]

I'm just bored and was thinking. If they were legal, mostly the stupid people who are addicted would probably die out, and then there wouldn't be that problem with stupid people ODing anymore. The rules of alcohol would apply, like you can't drive while under the influence and all of that. I also don't think drugs would be a big problem anymore, and we can worry about more important things going on in our country. Look at Amsterdam, I'm not sure if all drugs are legal there, but I know some are, and you don't hear any problems from them.

Marijuana is the only one that should be legal.

[Digital-Terror]

If drugs were legal people would probably do them. Like they do now. But More.

[Pugberto]

There would be utter chaos and civilization as we know it would fail to exist.

[holy-schat]

if they were legal then they wouldnt be associated with other crimes nearly as much. even though im only pro weed, psychedelics, and ecstasy, i still think thinks like coke and meth should be legal for that reason.

MUCH MOAR

ALL CAPS

[MadCow]

amsterdams logic was that if they made drugs and prostitution and shit legal, no one would do them because they'd lose appeal and stuff. didnt really work, but whatever.

they shouldn't make all drugs legal. Just weed shrooms and acid. meth addicts and crack heads can go fuck themselves.

I know someone who's been to Amsterdam for the drink and drugs. He said he saw dealers opening their coats to reveal heroin needles all prepared, with a belt ready for the customer to just shoot up there and then.

I also saw a program about the police in Amsterdam, they have a tough job.

They don't want that, because the DUI rate is high enough already.

[bigGUNZ]

yeah, i think marihuana should be allowed...but that is the only one, the others are too messy.

[CopperChaos]

If drugs were legal, people would do drugs more than ever. That's not going to help anyone.

Your mom is the only one that should be legal.

[MisterUnderstood]

Instead of corner stores we'd have crack stores.

[Crusher117]

The Geneva Convention was put under political pressure not to release findings that weed is safer than tobacco and alchohol.

bastards!

[Shrooomish]

I don't think it would cause much chaos or anything. I'm not a big fan of meth or heroin though. Nothing is wrong with weed, lsd, shrooms, x, or most pills though. People that will do them shouldn't take them while dong something such as working at a factory. That should be outlawed. It should be used as alcohol and at home.

[xscoot]

I'm ok with soft drugs, but not hard drugs. Also, it should still be illegal to put a drug in someones drink, without them knowin about it.

I am also for the creation of all the "fake drugs", my favourite being an energy drink mix. It is not meant to be mixed with anything, but snorted. It was partially featured in an issues of Macleans.

[HiniberusDelius]

We'd all be fucked outta our brains

[lawlmaster]

That is by far the worst idea ever,There would be too many deaths to keep up with and crime rates would soar,Which also means that drive-bys and shootings would occur more often.And we dont need anymore people dying.Like psychopaths Who boot up on meth or cocaine,or steriods,that would make them more dangerous than they already are.Seriously people who think that drugs should be legal are idiots who 1)Havent taken drugs.2)have no knowledge of what drugs do to you.Seriously theres alot more but i dont want to waste my time explaining it to senseless morons.

[ZyklonB]

more fights would break out, more dropouts, slower fucks on highway

[Emergence]

Salvia is alredy leagal, get some

[Rabid-Echidna]

As much as an advocate as I am, I would still be pretty damned wary of making ALL drugs legal. The idea of going town to the local Rite-Aid to pick up a gram of meth might be appealing to the average meth user, but I tend to group drugs into categories of good and bad. Not all drug policy is misguided, despite that a large portion of it is. Things like cocaine and heroin are genuinely destructive, as can be seen in most long-term cases of use. Drugs like acid and mushrooms are more physically benign, but making them available to the entire public might show more problems relating to the mental aspect of it.

Marijuana has a good case because it doesn't really do anything too significant and the health risks are low in comparison to smoking and alcohol. When you go higher up, you run the risk of being physically fucked up by hard drugs, or mentally by hallucinogens. I would support the legalization of marijuana and less strict laws for the stronger drugs, but not outright legalization.

Being high on weed and drunk are pretty different feelings. I guess it would be a bad idea to drive under the influence of anything, but I can function way better high than drunk. I would go to school high all the time without problem. As a matter of fact, sometimes it even makes me concentrate more than normal.

Oh haha, clever.

Hey guys look a mom joke!

[Shrooomish]

Snorting an energy drink?? I sometimes buy stuff at the local pharm. and abuse those. :P I chugged a monster the other day and didn't feel anything, I wonder what 3-5 would do??

Also about alcohol... We wouldn't have such an alcohol problem in America if the drinking age was so high. If it was 16-18 then this whole ordeal wouldn't exist and people wouldn't make a big deal about that.

[holy-schat]

honestly, legalizing drugs wouldnt make them more prevalent. they are so easy to get anyway that anyone who wants to do them already does. then since they wouldnt be a crime anymore the law enforcement agencies could focus on real crimes

[wolfenblade]

If drugs were legal then we would all be high and happy.

[gunner-564]

every one probleys die cuz they would be like"its wrong ...but its legal "*sniffs cocaine"
i wouldn't take any id be one of the few people left lol then i would say"iam going out in style"
then smoke a joint drink take cocaine, meth yell"see you all in hell!!"

[TimeforplanB]

It would be a fight for the needles of meth and the bags of cock, i mean coke.

[Rideo]

For marijuana the rate of use probably would not increase at all. When Oregon legalized it back in the 70s they saw no rise in marijuana use.

Other drugs I'm not so sure about since they're physically addictive. I would only want weed legalized, and psychedelics should be a controlled substance just ease back on the harshness of the law, mainly because I would want psychedelics legal for spiritual purposes, but we all know that if we made them legal they would be abused for recreation.

[jakobhummelen]

Dude... drugs are legal..

Oh wait, you mean outside Holland? ;)
