Legalize Hard Drugs

Legalize Hard Drugs

Believe

If the state and federal government legalized hard drugs it would save a lot of money spend on the war on drugs. The government would tax it, like they do alcohol and tobacco. The money they would save could be put into creating better rehab programs. I feel that those addicted would then have no reason to avoid treatment. We could offer real help to addicts rather than prison. If hard drugs were legal they would be controlled and pure, and have to pass FDA standards. Selling drugs is a great way to make money fast. Without the financial incentive dealers would be a thing of the past. Without dealers society has a better chance of helping people through drug addiction. Addicts won’t have to rob, mug and burglarize to get their next fix. Crime would go down, and cops could focus more on pursing more dangerous criminals.

Doubt

Many could say if hard drugs were legalized wouldn’t it lead to more addicts?
