I dont know what all the statistics are.
Wouldnt it be better if one got addicted, to be able to buy it from a pharmacy rather than being at the mercy of a dealer? Criminalizing drugs makes the prices artificially high. Causing some to resort to prostitution to support their habit.
My plan would tax the drugs to fund rehab facilities. That way if someone got addicted they would have resources available.
I dont know why people think criminalizing drugs is such a good thing. People still find a way to get them. Making it uncontrolled and unregulated.
Back when alcohol was illegal, there were risks of getting bad booze. A lot of people were blinded from bad hooch. You all have heard about blind blues musicians. Thats how some of them were blinded.
Only the desperate or the messed up ones would go out and actually seek drug dealers. What makes you think there isn't a large population who WOULDN'T go out and look for a drug dealer/break the law/etc, but are willing to buy legal drugs just to try it out? You seem to think that people who buy drugs illegally will be the ONLY ones who will buy drugs legally.
