The war on drugs is stupid, and makes no sense. There are millions around the world in prison for possession of ganga. I am all for legalizing ALL drugs. Many prescription drugs are far more dangerous than ganga, and even coke. Same applies to alcohol.

But, at a minimum legalize recreational ganga. And take away the franchises from these creepy cops who make a fortune off of innocent people in possession of next to nothing.

Drugs do a lot to a persons mental state which is probably why they are illegal, imagine a society full of drug addicts. Legalizing drugs sounds like a good idea, but I bet if it were to happen there would be a lot more, poverty, death, murders, robberies, etc.

Yes, you immediately cut out the cartels, the corrupt cops and the DEA super freaks, and demand goes way down. Alot of the attraction to drugs is the illegal aspect of them. 

At a minimum you completely legalize all aspects of ganga.

I doubt it. Legal drugs cause a great deal of harm to society, and so does alcohol.

Can't see how the cartels would give up their income easily though..

A great start, yes, great, would be SIS commonly called shooting galleries, where long term Heroin addicts, can inject.

It reduces infections with help, advice & medical assistance on hand, when needed.

If you doubt drugs will do a lot to a persons mental state, you probably don't know many people who do drugs. For example, amphetamines like cocaine and MDMA will desensitize the body to dopamine and serotonin.

 

Legal drugs and alcohol causing a great deal of harm to society doesn't justify legalizing all drugs. Also alcohol if not abused doesn't do a great deal of harm to society in my opinion.
