There should be no illegal drudge.  There are all kinds of medical uses for every drug created but in the US we have illegal drugs that your Dr. cannot prescribe for you even if it would save your life.  Heroin is used routinely to treat severe cancer related pain in other countries.  LSD was developed to treat alcoholism, marijuana has several uses. Cocaine also has several uses.  I think the hype surrounding illegal drugs is just a propaganda thing of the politicians to have a platform to get our votes.  There are just as many abuses of legal drugs as there is of illegal drugs.  And what about alcohol & tobacco?  They are legal & are the worst of them all.  Anyway,  my point is, if they were legal there would be no war on drugs.  We'd save all kinds of tax money.  Do away with DEA,ATF, RENU & a lot of idiot stupid laws.  I don't even & never have done drugs but if everything were legal, then tax the h--- out of the recreational drugs & set up rehabs etc. for the druggies.

Sorry about your luck.\n\nThey need to legalize the stuff.  It's a lot less dangerous than alcohol!

According to the DEA, the drug seizers for marijuana from jan. 05 to sept. 05 was 71.8%. However, I was unable to find arrest rates because most stats are a combination of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, meth, and various other drugs (no seperate numbers).\n\nHmmm. I wonder why?

The war on drugs is nowhere near over.  I was watching on the news a while back that after the tougher laws passed in Iowa reguarding the sales of certain ingredients in meth, that meth lab siezures had gone down a dramatic amount.  However, I still see people using every bit as much as before.  In my opinion, the law enforcement officials have not been working hard enough, and therefore cite the new law for less busts being made.

Drugs are not legal in Mexico even tho there are drugs in mexico. What is really amazing tho is that the same cops that will arrest a person in mexico for illegal drugs is also collecting big money from the ones selling the drugs. Prostitution is not legal either it is only allowed . in other words when the cops want to they can arrest someone for prostitution and when they have better things to do they could careless if they are doing it in the street in an alley some where .  Making drugs legal as in amsterdam would  stop alot of crime and lower everyones taxes since there wouldnt be so many people in jail and there would be less addicts since there wouldnt be such a want to be doing drugs. It would probably break hollywood since all the drug movies would be no big thing any more and then all the drug cartels would be a thing of the past and the drug runners would be out of work  along with  all the hit men and then the gov. wouldnt be making all the billions on the drug money they rake in doing drug busts. THe US is sadly built on crime and the criminal minded and the assurance that there will always be a fresh supply of new people to feed the kitty. Prostitution and drugs is to big of a business to allow it to go legal. Prostitutes and getting high has been around since the begining of time and will never stop this is why it is illegal because it provides constant guarunteed cash coming in for alot of people , the people that make the rules.    Heres proof as to what I am saying about the big guys.   The people of california voted and made marijuana legal but the  big guys said oh hell no we cant have that  we will loose to much money if that happens so even tho the people of california voted yes the federal gov. says no way .   ALl the police departments are given a budget by the big guys and if a police department makes a big big multi billion dollar bust with real estate and the whole 9 yards where does all that cash go.>? sure not to be spent by that police department. It goes to the federal gov. and they still only recieve thier budget. San diego makes billions in drug busts but yet all the cops are leaving the force to go other places because they wont get a raise for the next five years. You see the ones sitting behind a desk in office no way will give up all that cash they get to even share some with the ones who are in reality making it for them and protecting the country.  I say it would make things better but it will never happen.

I think so. With our Southern States and their defective boarder patrol. Illegal drugs have been enough of a problem alone with the Mexican boarder anyway.

Think about this:\n\nLegalizing drugs - cuts down on criminals.  no need for drug dealers, smugglers; people who purchase drugs can pay taxes on them, country gets payment for people's drug habits.

It is put into the system. That is why the War on Drugs is such a big deal and will not end - it is a large money-maker for the government.

Well of course, by criminalizing the drug trade you force it to organize along certain guidlines, even if you legalize the drug trade it would then still be organized by the government. Im an American and the government is the biggest drug dealer i have ever seen.

Monterrey is the nicest part of Mexico. You can get a black market kidney at a much more reasonable rate then in Cancun or Mexico City.

pot was made illegal when lsd and all the hard druggs of the 60's were i think. instead of actually knowing what pot was or how it was different then acid and x and cocaine, and the other hard drugs, it was illegialized right along with it. so really for no good reason is it illegal.. yes it should be legalized.. we wouldnt spend so much money on the fight against drugs, and would be able to focus on the important things like coke, and crack, and heron, exc... the things that actually kill ppl

Mexico has important events?  I didn't know that.  Wonder what they would be....oh, yeah, maybe the day they learned they could wire money from the US back to Mexico after working illegally in our country.  It's their biggest economic commodity ya know.

The Geschenk Answers are correct... haha just reminded me when I was a little child and I went to an englishspeakting country with my parents and I saw a drugstore I always wondered why it is legal to sell drugs (like heroin and cocain etc.) in public in England, and I got kind of frightened by the people who were walking in and out there. Because drug in German means only Drogen (Drugs, addictive substances) and not also medicine.

unfortunately, cocaine is too destructive to really consider legalizing it...\n\nin Europe where they have experimented with distributing free heroin to addicts (they are also trying this now, here in Canada - the NAOMI project) it has been determined with a daily dose(s) the heroin addict can actually get by.... by giving them free drugs, they are able to break the cycle of street hustling and become functioning members of society. They can get real jobs, and popoff to the WC, shoot up and get back to work (more or less)\n\nCocaine, (esp. crack) on the other hand necessitates more ingestion, more frequently - and the results tend to be more disfunctional ranging from manic to paranoid, etc. They simply cannot function as hardcore addicts in regular society, hold down a job, etc. Chronic users often develop serious, psychological issues.   Speed's even worse, as it completely and irreperably ROTS the user's brain.\n\nAll that being said - cocaine should be decrimilazed.. ie addicts and users (but not pushers and traffikers) should not face jail and / or a criminal record....
