All drugs should be legalized.

Well it would seem you criticise me for my petty argument, so, the time has come to bring out some bigger facts. 1. JOBS With all drugs legalized, we as a nation, or a world, would have many problems dealing with those who have indeed become an addict to a few harmful and highly addictive drugs, like meth. Meth, like all other drugs, ruins your body, like you said, its your choice and you don't care if you ruin your body, and make this country look like a bunch of tweaked out weaklings who cant defend themselves to some sort of attack, which will be explained later, but what would you do if you find out that the one guy that works for you has been doing meth, brand new at it, has a mental breakdown. First he would lose his job, then of course, other jobs would look at him, and other drug addicts, and stay far away, they are a risk to machines, to others, to themselves, company's don't want to hold your hand through your "tough times" just because drugs are now legal. If you think to yourself "well then they don't do drugs at a work environment" think again, once your addicted to something, you cant stop, not even for work, hence why you can smoke a cigarette during work, sometimes. If you then think, well those who have alcohol problems still go through jobs, your wrong again, ever heard of AA, it means that someone has to get over their harmful drinking addiction and get picked back up on their feet. Now if your trying to think, that not all illegal drugs are addictive, think again, in fact ALL illegal drugs are made to be addictive for the sales pitch, and you cant take the additive out of the drug, because it was made that way for that one reason alone, yes weed is a highly addictive drug, 1 in 6 people who start smoking weed, become addicted to the drug, 25 of 50 long term smokers become dependent on the drug, and it interferes with someone's life, lost jobs, unwanted children, poverty, mental breakdowns, and eventually suicide, all because they cant make enough money to buy the drug, because they lost their job, doing the drug, and spent the rest of their money getting the drug. http://www.methproject.org... http://www.drugabuse.gov... 2 Government. If all drugs where legal, the our very own president, good or bad he may be, could take a hit of heroin, sniff some cocaine, smoke a joint, and yet again become addicted, even congress, how would you like it if your own government was made up of a bunch of drug addicts making the wrong choices, and screwing this country and the people in it, making this country prone to high attacks, all illegal drugs, have some ingredient that messes up the chemical thinking process in your brain, for example Embalming high. or the more urban term "amp" makes you allot more violent and takes your brain and puts into an all time courage machine, making people do stupid things, so if the president hated someone on congress, went and did some amp, who would stop him from killing that congressman, or lets take a further scenario, the president hates the Jewish religion, and wants to expand his country (sound familiar ), turning us into a dictatorship, killing those who get in his way, all because he was allowed to do all drugs, that could possibly make him violent. Now some should argue, well then the government shouldn't do drugs, well let me tell you, those who work in the government can smoke and drink, so why would you make doing all drugs legal and forbid the government from doing those drugs? http://voices.yahoo.com... 3. Crime From your previous arguments, you state that our crime rate would go down, yet in fact it would be quite the opposite, look at all drugs, the each have a unique way of hurting you, and others, plus your addiction, let me do a quick scenario. Someone is addicted to cocaine, it affects their job, and they end up losing their job, now the need to go to rehab, which they refuse to go, and spend ALL their money for more cocaine, then they run out of cocaine, looks like they have no more money, so they could kill, mug, steal, and might be able to attempt a heist (because they may have played a game that said it was possible) guess what they fail, and end up in jail with bigger charges. now look at it in a global scale, not only does this happen to one person, but it happens to one hundred thousand people, it would be chaos. 4. Our own lives All drugs, even tobacco, shortens our lives, and when a life is shortened, that's when fear plays in, when fear plays in, that's when drugs come in, and that causes a vicious cycle, that makes our life's shortened by a hundredfold, instead of living to see 80, drugs become legal and one year you hope to see 50, then it could drop to 35, who knows, but when drugs play a part its like we want to become extinct ourselves. Well it would seem that drugs shall remain illegal, and to me that's a good thing! Documentaries: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com...
