The legalization of drugs has never been more necessary. As the world rages on around us we are told that the western countries are more civilized more peaceful and on the road to a drug free utopia. It is obvious that authorities have used the vision of civility and peace as a method to sell the public on the wonders of a drug free world, while their real agendas are probably very different. Policies exist in our countries that not only contradict our basic civil rights principles but are also moving us closer and closer to police states. International drug policies are ridiculous.
Prohibition now causes far more harm than the drug abuse itself.
Legalizing would introduce quality control. It would make questionable police investigative practices unjustified and stop our civil rights and liberties from sliding further into oblivion. Legalization is the only method we have to stop organized crime before it further corrupts and destabilizes the world's governments. Legalization is not a moral dilemma or choice that society should make based on whether it thinks certain states of consciousness or physiology are acceptable. To preserve democracy and freedom one must be ready to allow people to harm themselves with drugs if the only alternative is watch as corruption and deceit slowly conquer our countries that once claimed to be free.
