one of the problems i have with legalising is that drug taking is only safe when you act very responsibly…i fear that if it was legal people would push that responsibility away i.e. ‘well if its legal it must be safe to take shit loads’
but as ive said before…i see loads of benefits to legalising too!
thats why people need to be aware of the REAL dangers of drugs, if drugs where legal and the goverment controlled the amount people can take, and also gave accurate warnings as to what can happen if you do to much, i really think things would be better.
most OD’s usually happen because the substance the user thought they where taking turned out to be a hell of alot stronger than they thought it was, if drugs where controlled and manufactured legaly by chemists or whatever then everyone would no the strength of each individual drug.
i also FIRMLY believe that there are ALWAYS going to be rebels around, people wanting to do illegal shit (be it vandalism, arson, pissing off the old ladie in the house at the end of the street whatever) just because its illegal and there not supposed to be doing it, alot of people get a buzz from that. If drugs where legal u may find that less people do them because theres no risk/fun factor involved anymore, if u see where im coming from.
i mean tbh theres not alot to loose if they where made legal, anyone out there who was going to want to try drugs will try them whether there illegal or not. And Hey, im Sure the gvrmnt would make a few bob from it.
