If prohibition actually worked then there would be no drug use and no powerful drug gangs (1930s US Mafia, Mexico today anyone??). Instead billions are wasted every year on law enforcement and incarceration and the Gov misses out on an enourmous source of tax revenue. For the minority of users that do suffer serious problems, drug use is a health issue. It should not be a criminal issue. If legalisation is so bad – why does the Holland have lower rates of marijuana use than the US, UK, France, etc, etc..??

But medicinal type plants that are grown and used as grown without the addition of any pharmaceuticals to the plant should be legal for people to grow for their own personal use. But, they shouldn’t be able to market them to others without some quality controls.

While I kind of agree with the idea of taxing and rehab, I’ve also seen the devastating impact drug use, including alcohol, has on a family, especially children.

At least they could control what is exactly going into these tablets. As far as tax goes, they make a fair amount of money out of tobacco and as we all know that is the biggest killer of them all!

As well as the safety issue legalizing drugs had actually brought about a decrease of use in Portugal. It has also saved the country a lot of time and money on policing, instead they focus on rehab rather than arrest for drug use.
