The United States should legalize all drugs

FrameworkOkay, now it comes to the framework, but I have a debate with Tejretics again! (Which is awful. .. )Okay, now let's go to the actual debate. The Winter Tournament is on! Our debate topic is that the US should legalize all drugs for extra recreational use. Before arguing about recreational use, I will first go onto why drugs are bad, and we should not legalize them, then talk about recreational use. Because BoP is on Pro, (he has to tell why we need to legalize all drugs. ) Just to say, the resolution is about legalizing all drugs, and not just most drugs, all drugs and also for non-medical use. Legalizing all drugs is a very big disadvantage for Pro, because he has to say to legalize all kinds of drugs, not just few. If I say that we should ban drugs, make a good reason, and make the opponent not fill the BoP of the debate, then I win the debate. However, if my opponent fills the BoP, he wins the debate. Let the first round of the Winter's Tournament begin! I thank my opponent Tejretics and also the moderator of the winter's tournament, which is ThePhropett. I thank my opponent, and lets have a good debate. Just one more thing I want to say. I want some new arguments in the final round. That is it. Let's have a good debate. PrefaceOkay, this will be very short, but is the preface of this debate. This debate is from the first round of the winter tournament which is on the forum posts. And, this is my second debate with Tejretics as many might know. Tejretics is a good debater. I will show you to our first debate, which needs some votes (only one. ). http://www.debate.org...This debate needs some votes, however not even a day left, then Post Voting Debate. Anyways, good luck to my opponent Tejretics for my first debate, this debate for the Winter's Tournament, and also for our future debates, if we ever have some. Thank you. Let's begin! ArgumentsI will first go onto my arguments, then I will go to my rebuttals of Pro's arguments. 1. Secondhand impact. First of all, I will go in what are drugs. What are drugs? Okay, in this debate, What are the drugs we are referring to? We are referring to all kinds of drugs, as it says in the resolution which titles, "The United States will legalize all drugs. However what drugs are we referring to in this debate? Some drugs we might be referring to: Smoking, because nicotine is an addictive drug, that is in smoking. Marijuana, which is another type of drug. There is Cocaine, which is another type of drug. Here are just some sources of what are some drugs we are referring to in this debate. . http://tinyurl.com...http://tinyurl.com...http://tinyurl.com...Okay, now I will go into my actual arguments, which is the secondhand impact. Okay, I will first give an example of one drug. The drug is nicotine, and this is from smoking. Okay, first of all, I will tell you why niciotine causes secondhand effects. Okay, first of all, it is well-known that smoking causes secondhand impacts. People breathe in smoking, and then the bad air will go in human's bodies. Nicotine will make smoking addictive, so then there will be more secondhand impacts. Okay, no it comes to my second reason for secondhand impacts. This shows that secondhand impacts are bad. 5.6 children in the US, died because of secondhand smoke, as related to the status quo. This is a lot of people, and is only children! That means, probably there will be a lot more secondhand smoke dead people who are adults. This rebuts Pro's liberty argument which was that the liberty on choices, as long as their are no people else. My argument rebuts Pro's argument which was about the liberty act of not harming anyone else. I rebut this by showing that there is secondhand impacts from smoking, and many other drugs. Marijuana is also another drug, and this is like smoking, so then, there will be a lot of secondhand impacts from this too. That all means these innocent people who don't use drugs, they are dying because of these drugs. Pro will probably rebut that people don't get secondhand impact by some drugs. However the resolution says all drugs, and smoking's nicotine is also a drug. As I explained, there is lot's of bad pollution in smoking, which secondhand people will breathe into, making them harmed. . http://tinyurl.com...http://tinyurl.com...Okay, now it will come to my second argument, which is about cost.2. Economy FailsThis argument will be very short, because there is not really lots to explain. My second argument is about the economic fails. Okay, the economic failure is very huge if we legalize all drugs. Because of the many deaths from drugs, there is a lot of money wasted from the economy, because of less humans. The economy fails if we legalize drugs, so that means that we should ban drugs because the economy will fail pretty badly of we legalize drugs, because of the amount of people get less, need to pay healthcare bills. The economy fails, the country gets worse, and the government will have less money when you legalize drugs. There is one more reason why the economy fails. There will be less people because more dead by the health issues of drugs.3. Health IssuesOkay, this is my last argument, which is about health issues. Okay, I will go into few examples of what gets bad for your health.1. Lung CancerThis is probably the most important one for health issues. Your lungs seriously get harmed by drugs. All the bad chemicals and the things in drugs make your lungs bad. Smoking makes your lungs bad, as many of you know that the air when you smoke is all pollution, and you basically really breathe in a lot of pollution, making your lungs bad. Smoking is a drug, and so is marijuana. They both harm your lungs. Your lungs do a important job for you. Your lungs make you breathe. However, if you use drugs or smoke, use marijuana, you will have lung cancer. What is lung cancer anyways? Lung Cancer is when your lungs are really in bad condition, and you can't breathe. How much this was in smoking? Between 2005-2010, there was 130659 amount of people dead by lung cancer, only smokers. By second-hand impact, however, there was 7330 people who had lung cancer in one year by secondhand impact by smoking. This is a lot of people who died by lung cancer. Your lung makes you breathe, and drugs cause your lungs to be worse, giving no good things to legalize drugs. Is there just one drug? No! That means that there is way more people who died from lung cancer by other drugs. There is marijuana, and many other drugs in the whole world, not just one drug. This means that there will be a lot more drugs where you get lung cancer, and then you will have bad health, die from can't breathe. 2. Rotten TeethMy next reason is that you can have rotten teeth. Your teeth is very important for when you eat. You swallow some food, then all your rotten teeth, some bad things will go in your stomach, making your stomach worse. Also, your teeth will become bad, your teeth might fall out, and you can't eat. Having your teeth being rotten is very bad. That is why you go to the dentist. However, the dentist costs a lot of money, and your teeth will hurt. This means that you should not use drugs or legalize them. This shows you that there is bad effects by drugs. There are many more bad things like, nightmares, heart attacks, Insomnia. There is a lot of bad issues if you legalize or use drugs by health, meaning that you should not legalize these drugs for health reasons. . http://tinyurl.com...http://tinyurl.com...http://tinyurl.com...RebuttalsBecause I finished my arguments, I will go on my opponent's case. First of all it is divided in few parts. 1. Liberty, Pro's strongest impact. 2. Legalization will make sure children won't gain access to drugs. 3. Criminal Networks. 4. Little Increase in the actual use of drugs. 5. Save innocent lives. 6. Economic Benefits. 7. Releasing all those personal drug use. 8. huge amounts of crime that comes with illicit drugs. 9. People will use drugs less if legalized. Because of the lack of characters in this round, I can't go into all of Pro's arguments. I will just go into Pro's first two arguments, and put 7 more arguments rebutted in the next round. Know that I am not dropping those arguments, I will rebut them later. Pro cannot say and penalize me by saying that I dropped his arguments, I did not drop his arguments, just listing them later. Rebuttal 1: LibertyOkay, Pro's first argument is about the Liberty in drug legalization. He states that we can have the right to choice unless it does not harm others. However, I had already rebutted Pro's argument by saying that Secondhand impact will happen if we legalize drugs, so just look at my first argument. Also, not all people wanted to choose to use drugs. Many drugs are addictive, such as nicotine. It is not the liberty that makes sometimes the people using drugs, it is that because of the addictiveness. Drugs harm others by secondhand impact, meaning we should not have the right of choice because it harms others. Rebuttal 2: Legalizing drugs won't make children into drugsPro does not have any evidence from his sources that children cannot go in drugs. However there is a quick rebuttal from this argument. Legalizing drugs makes drugs easy to buy with no penalty, and no bad things. It is much easier to buy or take access to drugs because it is not illegal. This means that more people can make or go into drugs because it is legalized. This means that more children can go into drugs because legalized. ConclusionBecause of the lack of characters, which is not even 100 characters left, I could not rebut all of Pro's arguments. I will rebut them next round. My main arguments are Secondhand impact, Economy Fails, and also Health Issues. We hate bad things for innocent people that involves deaths. Then make drugs illegal. Vote for Con. Thank you. Rebuttal is the next round. Good luck!
