We should legalize drugs

Page history last edited by Mike 12 years, 1 month ago

We should legalize drugs.

Reasons to agree

  1. Legalizing drugs would lesson the power of street gangs.
  2. We could tax drugs and make a lot of money on it.
  3. We have too many people in jail.
  4. Cops spend too much time dealing with drugs. 
  5. We could keep it legal, but punish people severely for doing it in public, or driving while high, or whatever...
  6. Fewer people will die in gang wars, if gangs don't have drug money. We can't stop people from over-dosing and killing themselves if they want to do drugs. But if we legalized drugs, fewer innocent bystanders would be killed when rival gangs are fighting for territory. If you wanted to sell drugs, you would have to get a high-school degree, and get a job at Walgreens.

 

Reasons to disagree

  1. More people would probably do drugs if we legalize it. 

 

Score: +6 (reasons to agree), -1 (reasons to disagree) = +5 

 

Probable motivation of those who agree

  1. Some want to do drugs.
  2. Some just want to save more government money. They want the federal government to have less power, and don't like a government that gets into people's business, when they stay in their home and don't bug anyone.
     

Probable motivation of those who disagree

  1.  They don't want to be seen as being "weird". It’s still a cultural war, were there were some who did drugs, and those who did not. If you say you want to legalize drugs, you are on the side of the stoners, and hippies, and you are not a jock, or a whatever, and so you are one of them, and not one of us. We don't vote for them. We vote for people like us. I'm just an Okie from Miscokie... where a joint is a bad place to be...
