Drug usage should be legalized

23Sep2008 Filed under: wtf Author: BigAl

The federal government should legalize all drugs, from Marijuana to heroin and crack to PCP, for a number of reasons. First-off, if drugs were legalized, they would fall under the watchful eye of the FDA, which would enforce strict purity restrictions, keeping toxins out of the drugs. The FDA could also provide a dosage guide and concentration ratings so drug users would know how much they could take without overdosing.

not really news, same arguments as always.
People can abuse just about any substance, but you shouldnt hand things to people on a platter unless theres also legitmet use’s. So that would cover some drugs, but not all.
America takes it too the disturbing extreme being anti-drug, but to go to the other extreme is an equal mistake.

Addiction cause’s crime that hurts everyone. If heroin could be bought in a shiny clean box in a drug store, that dosnt stop the crime needed to get the money.

Also, the biggest horror with legalising (all) drugs to me is the thought of the drug companys. Easy money for them.
Why bother researching cures for things, when instead you can make a killing mass produceing certain substances?

Resources in drug production should be spent on manufactoring things that solve peoples medical problems, not cause them.
