If illegal drugs were legal....?

Question

do you think the world would be a happier and more relaxed place?

and would you try them?

ok lets make that every drug was legal except heroin

heroin is still illegal

Answer 1

I'm for it completely. You would take away criminals main way of making money, all the tax money could go to prevention, and treatment, and you could regulate who sells and buys it. Basically you could get it all under control, instead of out of control like now. And no I wouldnt use.

Answer 2

Have never had the misfortune of trying heroin, and I'm sure there are people out there who love it, and think that it should be legalised. I have, however, had the misfortune of losing a few friends to their hideous heroin addictions. And as for amphetamines, I had a tragic love affair with this drug for many years of my adult life. I lost the best of me - all the good things that made me a good human being, and although I never stole, and never ripped anyone off, I let myself and my family and my friends down. To this day, I kick myself for all the loss - the wasted years and the wasted money and the wasted talent. Life happens but once, and it is indeed a gift - to live any other way is to give your life to misery and hopelessness. Rarely does anything good come from serious addiction. On the other hand, I don't categorise weed as a serious drug. In fact, I'm of the opinion that alcohol should be illegal - it's effects can be equally, if not more, evil than weed. Like any mind-altering substance - not everyone can handle it's effects, and my verdict is that we should each have a licence to take drugs.

Answer 3

I've already tried plenty of drugs, but I can tell you for sure that the world would not be a better place if drugs were legal. I've seen what drugs can do to people and it's disturbing. Besides what "druggies" don't realize is the fact that drugs would cost a load of money to purchase if they were legal. Plus the tax on them would be outrageous.

Answer 4

No, drugs make you high not happy and for every high there is an equal and opposite down. Already tried them and they aren't helpful but shouldn't be illegal. People who take things to make themselves feel better and don't steal or hurt other folks should be left alone not jailed

Answer 5

i think that the government would have a better control on them
i do not think it would be a better place because the reasons people use drugs are to sustain there true emotions
i have first hand seen what it can do to a person and their family
my mother died of an overdose of drugs and i never got to say goodbye.
drugs only create bigger problems

Answer 6

No, because everyone wants to be a BAMF and want things they can't have.

If all drugs were legal, they wouldn't do them, they'd try and find something illegal.

Who wants to be mainstream? Last time I checked.. nobody.

Answer 7

the world might be happier, but I have tried all the drugs I need to try

Answer 8

No....we have caffiene.....nicotine....alcohol and many others.

Do any of those make us more relaxed or happier in the long run........logically no.

(Note I consume all of the above legal drugs)

Answer 9

if illegal drugs were legal, it would thin the herd of all the losers and f##ktards in the world, which would make the world a much better place, so sure legalize it then let the idiots drop like flies, I like the sound of that already.

Answer 10

I think it would be more relaxed. No, I had my day with drugs, it lasted years. I would never touch drugs again!
