Why aren't drugs legalized?

Maybe things are fine in the U.S. as they are but in Mexico we have a lot of problems because of drug dealers and I feel like most of those problems could easily be solved by simply legalizing drugs.

There's a strong push to legalize marijuana, but other more potent drugs remain a danger. Heroin is incredibly addictive and almost ruined the nation of China years ago. Cocaine is legal to use in medicine, but is not available to the general public.

Drugs are bad. Can you imagine would the world would be like if everyone was on crystal meth?mrmusicman247

Because believe it or not drugs are harmful to societies. Do you know why China's drug laws are so harsh? Because of the opium wars and the effects drugs were having on its citizens as a whole.

The last thing we need is a civilization stung out on and addicted to heroin and coke. You can make a case for pot but the others, no way.

Because then everybody would do drugs because it is legal and society would go to an all the way downwards because people would be hallucinating and not going to work. (I'm not being sarcastic, you may find it funny though)

Druggies are a drag on society.

The way I see it, is that the more people that are addicted to drugs, the less people I have to compete for a job with, so it's a win-win situation

people are going to do drugs no matter what

making a safe purchasing envornment and getting tax money

is a no brainer

Certain drugs i wouldn't have an issue with legalizing , such as marijuana . But i strongly disagree with legalizing every drug , i've seen people get hooked on meth and it ruins their lives.

Plenty of drugs should never be legalized. You really want your children to be able to go to CVS and buy crystal meth?

I won't have children but anyway if drugs were legalized they should be controlled VERY well (no one under 21 should be able to buy them, if a minor buys them, not only whoever sold the drugs would get punished but also the minor, you would only be able to use drugs in a house or a place with permission, only some special stores would be able to sell drugs, if discovered drugged outside of a place with permission or a house you'll get punished and stored that sell drugs wouldn't be able to sell dangerous doses)

Full legalization is not a good thing due to the harm drugs can cause.

That said, decriminalization would unquestionably be a good thing, and frankly having pot illegal while cigarettes and alcohol are legal is completely illogical.

Drugs cause permenent addictions and physical problems for people, that's an incredibly stupid idea to allow a country which is already known for lacking self control to legally be allowed to do controled substances.
