All Drugs should be Legalized.

'I'd like to start the debate by pointing out that the entire argument posed by my opponent is copied from his other debates on the subject. ' Yes end ? I don't see why i should always re-write the same arguments it saves me time to just use the same writing, Oh yes i copied too much of it too that's why you can see me rebutting arguments i apologize to the audience about that.'for each day millions upon millions die of drug abuse. ' Actually no a lot less about 570,000 people die annually due to drug use. And if drugs were legalized they would increase in quality reducing the risk of overdose as the consumer would be informed how pure it is . 'Millions are rendered homeless, addicted to a substance that they could just as well pay with their arm for they have nothing else to pay it with. ' Many homeless people choose to be homeless in fact they make a lot of money out of it , others find it hard to find a job for many reasons including criminal records , no higher education , etc . Some homeless people are addicted to drugs am i supposed to cry about it? they chose to do the drug . 'Already provided in the round 1 definition that my opponent made no objection to, drugs are often harmful to humans. But exposing drugs to children and teens is a horrible thing to do. ' Children and Teens would find it harder to acces drugs , since they cannot purchase them through a drug dealer that has an unregulated business. ' Just like alcohol and tobacco can readily be bought by older teens and handed to the young ones' It is easier for a child to buy from a drug dealer than go through all the hard work and asking people for favours. ' they need a firm figure and with Mom and Dad legally high on crack cocaine they are not getting the attention they need. ' And how does prohibition deal with that issue ? if anything it is more dangerous and expensive for their parents to get their next fix . 'why would you impose another legal way to put out pressure, tear more families apart and rip more lives to shred than already exist? Is the world not dim enough already?' Because it is more benefitial than prohibiting it and i already listed the reasons in Round 2 . ' your body nor your actions. In a worst case scenario you're not going to pass out and wake up safe in your bed with the weed smoke hanging over you: You're going to hurt someone' That's the same kind of argument as saying we should ban transporation and cars because people might get hurt , if he hurts someone he is responsible for it and once again i have to ask you how does prohibition deal with that? 'Is this a drug you want to be sold over the counter in the closest pharmaceutical store? ' Sure why not it is safer than when people buy it from a black market , My opponent is trying to play with emotions rather than talk about facts he is trying to make a moral claim , If anything than the moral case against prohibition is better . ' But what happens if someone of you got curious and bought the legal Krokodil? ' The big majority of Krokodil users have been previous heroin addicts and change to Krokodil because its cheaper , why would you buy Krokodil instead of normal heroin anyway? its the same effects you don't understand that Krokodil is not just your addictive drug that people start doing it is a drug that heroin addicts turn to. 'I'm sorry to have bombarded you with these disgusting images, but they state much more than a thousand words. If you want all drugs to be legal, this one has to be there on the store shelves as well, ' Krokodil is not a commonly used drug around the world It doesn't have enough interest for drug shop owners to put on the shelf . ' All drugs have the potential to harm you; All drugs may be a gateway to a harder drug. It isn't certain, but it is a chance, ' And by trying the drug you are making the concious decision to do so you are accepting that there is a risk and if you choose to do it is not my business to stop you it was your decision to take whatever into your body. 'This is a world where illegal and hidden might just be better than legal and always existing to template those that pass. ' I have to disagree on this one my opponent throughout the text is assuming that if drugs were legalized more people would do it , this is not a certain thing It might do It might now we cannot be sure for example in Portugal when drugs were decriminalized it hardly affected the numbers of users on the other hand it could affect the numbers and more people would do it however i think that would only happen if it would happen at the start than after a few years it would cool down again i really think this is better than tyrannical cops and over-populated prisons. 'But why make it easy for them? ' I don't see how making something available that was already avaiable gone have a big impact . 'Why should we make a pass on cocaine, Meth, bath salts and krokodil? We can't in good conscious allow it, ' Because the pros of legalization outnumber and are stronger than the cons. 'because for each single 'Good' drug that we may find there will be a hundred that can kill you in the blink of the hit, the heat of the moment.' Capitalism doesn't work that way the drugs we would see in drug stores would be the most common ones that recieve the most interest like Cocaine . Thank You for reading Ladies and Gentleman, Oh and please next time don't use so much emotive language since that doesn't have an impact on me I only try to think rationally . http://drugfactsweek.drugabuse.gov... http://www.urban75.com... http://www.policymic.com...
