Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?

The only advantage for the user of hard drugs, to them being legalised is that these drugs would not be 'cut' with stuff like vim or talcum powder....this would make them less hazardous, but just as addictive, therefore just as dangerous.......and if they were legalised then the government would surely put a hefty tax on them.
The other apsect would be that it would take dealers out of the loop......but I am not convinced that this would lead to less criminal activity.....users would still need to fund their habit.

Educate your children well, and tell them it is better to be a monkey than a sheep(that is....don't follow the herd......think and act for yourself, not because your crowd want you to do what they are doing).
I do hope that makes sense.
