Should drugs be made legal? - [Closes 14/05/07]

Study the law with drugs then come back to me and tell me it's not.

Possession of Class C Drugs: "Up to two years in prison or an unlimited fine or both."
The misuse of drugs act states that it is an offence to: Possess a controlled substance unlawfully.

It is against the law, whatever you intend to use it for :S

Not all drugs although the rateings should be changed, many class C drugs are far more dangerous than some class A and B drugs. And smokeing, which is legal is one of the worst of all. I belive it was reported if drugs were classifed by how dangerous they are smokeing/nicotean would be class A?
The whole drug classifcations dont really make alot of sence at the moment, and many would be far better being put back to there orignal perscription status, for example herowin, a powerful painkiller when legal i belive it was freely avaible over the counter from chemists, had very few users. Once illgal that shot up.
It costs the goverment money to inforce laws against drugs, the goverment makes money from tax on drugs when there legal.
Most drugs are also safer legal, since theres much less risk of them being cut with something dangerous, which is useally what kills people as opposed to the actual drugs themselves in those incidents.
So there is quite a good case for legalistion "/

No drugs should be made legal as everyone would be trying it and it just recks your health and body whats the point your just mad to take it.

this is actually the stupidest debate ever. I'm sure we all get some sort of drugs education in our life and we find out the affects of them, so we all know whats going on and why they're not legalised. Only a fool would say 'yes, legalise all drugs'

Perhaps another debate 'should CANNABIS be legalised in the UK', then the people for it might have abit more of an arguement than 'yea i'd get high everyday'

My opinion: No.

[:Liam]

Yes if they're prescribed for medical reasons such as syatica(Sp?) But not for the sake of takeing them

[lAdmire]

Yeah, drugs should be made legal along with gun crime and murder.

Okay. Lol. If Brandon was being sarcastic, I agree. Why would drugs be made legal? Omg. If it's gonna kill people then why would it be made legal? You basically just told the world go kill yourself. You die faster than when you use the drugs.


Also, what is (sp?)

[-Soph-]

class C yes.

I don't take any drugs except for alcohol, so it doesn't bother me.
tbh, i think if they were made legal then it would decrease use.
yeah at first there'd be a boost with people saying
"OMGZZ ITS LEGAL LETS GO GET HIGH EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK"

but that'd wear down, and tbh, I swear some people take drugs to look "bad", which wouldn't happen if they were legal.

Yet people are just hurting themselves, shouldn't people be allowed to do what they want as long as it only affects them? Again, there should be some restrictions (restricted to 18/21, no driving under the influence, etc), but overall, it shouldn't be a problem if people just want to do it themselves... People always tell me that it should be illegal because it could shorten your lifespan, etc. Well, in that case, fast foods should be made illegal because they contribute to obesity which can, in turn, cause death.

Governments shouldn't regulate things just because they can harm the person that WILLINGLY takes them, only if it interferes with the rights of others.
