Why the hell should America ever consider legalizing anything harder than marijuana if that at all? Would the world & America really be better if it was legal to buy heroin cocaine et cetera in the US? And please spare me the rhetoric of associating alcohol to heroin cocaine meth and other drugs. You guys are worse than the fukking hippies that were in the past let alone the hippies of the day.
Some drugs should be prohibited.

There is a very strong argument to be made for legalizing all drugs. But I understand that this completely mind fukks the vast majority of the population due to the conditioning we've received growing up in an anti-drug puritanical culture (funny that our culture is so puritain but behind closed doors, everyone is getting FOLDED)
What is the
purpose of prohibiting certain drugs? To decrease use?
Now let me ask you, does prohibiting certain drugs ACTUALLY DECREASE use?
Funny enough, it's actually the opposite, it increases use. You can see this in countries with decriminalization or more lax drug laws. They have much lower instances of drug use and children start using drugs at a much later age compared with the United States.
many of the results of prohibiting a drug in reality are:
1. Increased drug use
2. Massive increase in arrests/prison population
3. Creation of a black market for these drugs, causing the drugs to become WAY WAY WAY more dangerous because people cut the drugs with other harmful shyt. You can even see this back during Alcohol prohibition where people were dying from alcohol cut with formaldehyde and other crazy ass shyt.
4. Less help for people with addictions
5. Funding for gangs who profit off these illegal drugs
6. Massive massive increase in the MARKET PRICE of drugs due to the RISK involved in selling. Which in turn increases the profits for these gangs
7. The profit involved in selling these drugs make them worth KILLING over or perpetrating violence. Which increases the crimerate even further.
8. The government and people deliberately release misleading information about drugs, which causes people to make a misinformed decision.
I think prohibition does more harm than good, but maybe that is just me.
You don't need to have a drug labeled as "illegal" to discourage it's use. Cigarettes aren't illegal and cigarette use has gone down 15% in America. It's all about
education.
