Three Reasons For Enhancing Drugs

Decent Essays
Out of three reasons, I agree with one of the appeals and disagree with two appeals. I agree that there will be no more drug dealer because after drug being free and legalize because there will be no work for pushers. For example, Pushers would have contacted with lots of people who are addicted to drug and those people would come to pushers and buy the drugs from them. Now, since the drugs are free and legalize, pusher will lose the people whom they have had contact with because they will not come to them and buy the drugs since it is free. Secondly, I disagree with the second appeal which says “the mob will lose the main source of its income” because for them drugs are not only the work they do. They are like thief; they can go anywhere.

    If marihuana legislation is approved, it would be harder for people younger than 18 to get it, since there will be loads of restrictions for it. People will get work with the production, and the sale of it. Government will get a lot of money with taxes. Drug dealers will start to lose their business, and people who are “addicted” to it will be able to break the habit, since there will be a lot of control for buying it.…

    As for decreasing crime by legalizing the drugs and selling them at cost, I think it is reasonable. Being controlled by the Mafia or gangland, the price of drugs would be very high, which indirectly causes the increase the occurrence of crime events. Sin and money are like twins, the more money entered the Mafia, the more powerful the Mafia would be and cause more crimes at the meantime. As far as I am concerned, it is better to sell drugs by the government rather than let the Mafia take charge of the sell…

    The policy ensures the health of drug users, rather than treating addicts as criminals. Individuals will finally be able to confront the issues of addiction without fear of prosecution. Families will finally see loved ones receive the help they need, without their loved ones being put in jail. The community-at-large will see drug consumption decline and rates of incarceration fall too, while saving money that would usually be used for enforcement and incarceration- which can now go towards…

    Will legalizing all drugs causes an epidemic of drug users and bring the world to chaos or will it bring peace to the war on drugs. In 2001, Portugal decriminalized all drugs and since then there has been a small decline in drug users (Laqueur, 2015, 767). This paper will focus on how legalizing drugs may be beneficial to drug users. If drugs were legal, drug addicts or users will not go to jail for possession of drugs and gang wars may be a thing of the past. Drug addicts will be able to obtain proper treatments without fear of arrest.…

    1. That’s not professional sport. If an athlete can’t win a race without doping or using some sort of enhancing drug they aren’t worthy athletes. They are where they are because of their talent, they shouldn’t be placed on the pedestal because of a drug that allowed them to become so talented, they should be there because of hard work dedication and talent. There are no stepping stones in sport you have to work for every achievement.…

    The argument on whether drugs should be legalized has been going on for so long now. Some people say as an Americans we have the right to choose whether we want to do drugs or not. It is really hard to control the consumption of drugs, because people are going to do them whether they are legal or illegal. Other people say that the laws that are being enforced now are good to control drugs. “There will also be more unpublicized fatal and maiming crashes, more job accidents, more child neglect, more of everything associated with substance abuse”(M. Kendrecke).…

    I can explain this away by the same point I mention in the previous paragraph. That the state would become one big drug dealer and put all drug dealers across the state out of a job. Therefore by doing this you have less criminals on the street which means a lower crime rate. I like to make the comparison to prohibition and how history repeats itself. The only good thing that came out of prohibition was NASCAR and most people don’t even like that.…

    Over the years, the idea about legalizing drugs has always been a discussion. Although we use the general term, there was no specific type of “drug” mentioned in these arguments. It is obvious that some are more harmful than others, but overall, each drug could be as addicting than any other. There are many different drugs that have different effects. In my opinion, man-made stimulant drugs seem to cause more harm to their users more than “natural” drugs such as cannabis.…

    The drug market is stronger than ever, yet the drug war has been in full force for several decades. The effects here in the United States, are quite similar to the effects internationally, but there are many solutions other than a drug war, to stop the use of drugs. Nobel laureate and economist Milton Friedman remarked on the issue, “However much harm drugs do to those who use them…seeking to prohibit their use does even more harm both to users of drugs and to the rest of us…Legalizing drugs would simultaneously reduce the amount of crime and improve law enforcement. It is hard to conceive of any other single measure that would accomplish so much to promote law and order” (Donohue 146). Friedman is right.…
