I am truly against legalising something which is so damaging to developing brains.
Yes, like cigarettes an age limit could be set so that young people cannot buy it...but you and I both know that there are ways around the age limit thing.
The other thing about legalising drugs is...it sends out the message that the use is ok....safe even.
It is never safe to take drugs.
Heck, there is always a risk with drugs that are PRESCRIBED for you.

Legalising drugs would be the lazy, sloppy, line of least resistance option.

Laws are there to deal with the use, the sale and distribution of illegal drugs, but laws on their own are useless, it needs the motivation to catch the criminals.
Make no mistake about it, drug dealers are criminals because they steal the lives and the potential of our youngsters. They get these youngsters hooked at an early age....then when there is no money to buy the stuff they are addicted to....they rob, Mug and sometimes even murder to get their fix.
Not a good picture.
That can never be acceptable.
