I think all drugs should be legalized. If someone wants to harm their body, let them. The government just wants to be everyones parent.

la de da follow the troll.

The only reason why they are illegal is certainly not because its harmful, a lot of drugs cause violence, they cause addiction, which leads to theft, and more violence. The list goes on buddy. Legalizing all drugs would be the dumbest thing anyone could do, and plus, it would kill the economy. What would the drug dealers and the police offers, and criminal defense attorneys and the DEA and SO on...Do? So many people would be out jobs its just simply ridiculous.

So many more people would have jobs as a result, the economy would be strengthened by the multi-trillion dollar industry.

I strongly disagree with that...Anyone else have any opinions?

Yeah, let's poison the American people for the sake of a growing economy!

...No. The History channel has two or three documentaries that explore the history of drug regulation. The reasons usually have some ulterior motive often racist reasoning. Smoking opium was apparently outlawed as the government feared that it would be used by the Chinese migrants to seduce white women.

None of the other original theories made much better practical sense.

I heard a biographical documentary on Obama a few nights ago. He admitted to using a variety of drugs in his teenage years. This has not attracted any attention by the media. Yet I recall a lot of attention a few years back about someone who denied inhaling.

Also, drugs are effecting the economy and America. I think we need to make a stand now, because the kids of America today, do not need this. We are the leaders of tomorrow. Drugs are affecting us by changing our feelings, thoughts, and emotions. If I was high right now, I wouldn't be able to write this. The economy is being effected as we speak because of substance abuse. People are spending their hard-earned money on Ice, Crack, LSD, and Dope!?! The money spent on drugs is less money for taxes to pay for the building of better schools, or making of better roads, money not being spent on helping a child, or even buying videocassette tapes. This takes us to the word opportunity cost, which means that the real cost of a product is not the amount of money spent, but the things that cannot be bought because money is spent. Now let me tell you this, when you’re dealing with drugs, there is opportunity cost going on there. Let’s relate to the younger generation: You’re walking down the street, it’s a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and there’s a big anniversary date that night with your girlfriend. You see a guy you recognize and he offers you marijuana for $100.00. You accept the deal thinking nothing of it. Later that night the bill comes in at the Italian restaurant, that same restaurant where you had your first date at, and the bill comes out to $95.41. Now, the money you spent on drugs for Sunday would have bought you the meal, but instead you have to stay after and wash dishes to work off the money. I guess what I’m trying to say is how drugs affect the economy, is that the biggest stab is at the younger generation. I think we are the people of the new millenium. Being these people we do not need drugs to ruin the things that we will bring to the economy. Especially the things we bring that will make us the best … for the “next thousand years.”


And by we, I mean the people who aren't high.

By the younger generation, I mean our future children.
