Question by bored: Do you think we should decriminalize drugs?
I don’t approve of drugs, I don’t encourage them, but i think

they should be legal.

By making it illegal you create a black market, and this

raises the price. People addicted to drugs then resort to more

crime to pay for this habit.

If you look at the stats, when they were legal you had less drug

addicts.

Drug enforcement costs the taxpayer a lot of money.

I want them legalized with the intention that drug usage

decreases.

Most people don’t like drugs, but the facts speak for themselves,

when they are legal, you have less crime in the form of theft.
