Who is for 80% reduction in crime?

Question

80% less muggings, burglaries and murders
80% reduction in incarcerated people
80% savings in Policing
80% savings in court proceedings

*(How did I get to this figures? It's a fact that 80% of prisoners are in jail for Drug related offenses, therefore all other 80% figures derive from this known fact.

How do we do it?... by legalizing, taxing and regulating all presently illegal drugs.
Start voicing your enlightened opinion on the subject and politicians eventually will find it convenient to support Drug Legalization. . Our national security is at stake since Terrorists main source of income is trafficking. Let's do it before it's too late.

Answer 1

I am for 100% but your 80 and my 100 will never happen. The court sytem is a money maker. Add in to the fact that so are jails and prisons. Our government and those that profit by crime will never let that happen. Why do you think we have a system of justice with such a high return rate?
But lets keep it real ok. Illegal drugs are bad for you and for all the people who know you. They destroy families and individuals regardless of race, creed or anything else. They hurt the people around the user. Violence and abuse are so high among those that know a drug user. So sure we allow drugs to be legal and we watch families crumble and our children hurt more.
But why make it legal when yes our own government profits by it. So many jobs and agencies have been created to combat this that it has become a million dollar enterprise. even if it was legal our government would never make as much money as they do by keeping it illegal.
In my opinion get out of Iraq and get us into countries that produce these drugs and wipe it out. We have better things to do then to become a bunch of dopeheads. These coutries are the real terrorists.

Answer 2

Get over it druggie, they are going to stay illegal. Yes 80% are high when they commit crimes, so how does legalizing the drug drop the crime rate. Good idea legalizing meth, cocaine, crack, heroin, LSD, Ecstasy. Like society isn't f'd up enough already. How about this, anyone caught selling drugs in this country gets one behind the ear? That should eliminate drug dealers and drug users in turn.

Answer 3

i think hard drugs should be regulated by the medical community
and cannabis legal in the amounts of .42 oz personal possesion outside the home.

Answer 4

You are absolutely correct, but I can't see it happening in our lifetime. Too much money & power on the other side. Evil begets evil.

Answer 5

It's not society's fault that these people did those crimes. NO ONE IS FORCING THEM TO TAKE DRUGS!! They broke the law of their free will and need to be punished for it. Dumb pothead.
