    cos smoking is anti social behaviour - in that it directly effects others around you...

    if you snort a line/swallow a pill next to some1 it doesn't have any direct adverse effect on them, where as smoking does.

    or thats how some people see it anyways.

    if drugs were made legal i always assumed crack & heroin would be exempt from this as they are nowhere near the same as most other drugs... hmmm...

    the tabs thing isn't really the same situation tho is it?

    they are still getting made legally, just not for sale in this country, so the same would not happen for drugs unless other countries legalised them and put less tax on them.

    Even though Herion and Crack aren't what you would class as recreational drugs and they do fcuk you up in the sense that you are fully addicted they aren't any more dangerous than taking a pill!!!

    In fact if herion is administered properly it is the safest drug you can do!!! I'm not encouraging people to start taking smack there just saying

    legalising drugs is a stupid idea.

    if they were legalised people would abuse them in the same way as alcohol. the NHS would be under immense pressure to deal with people who took too much on a weekend.

    think how many alcohol related injuries are admitted to hospital every weekend.

    its a nice idea, but taking factors into account its pros still dont outway the cons

    And how many drug related cases do they get in hospitals at the moment???

    just because they are illegal doesn't stop people abusing them, loads of people get admitted to hospital every weekend because they've taken one pill too many or a "dodgy" pill...

    the point of legalising drugs is supposedly to make them safer and to stop people putting lethal chemicals into pills like they are at the moment in pill factories in holland!!!

    Its a nice idea in theory but it would never work

    I highly doubt that would happen. A lot of drugs are very cheap to make. Tax would increase the price but not more than what we are already paying.

    Heroin has more chance of being made legal than the majority of drugs out there.

    The only way you would end up getting them cheaper is if you have a very good connection. i.e know a chemist personally.

    Like somebody already said on this thread its cheaper to buy weed illegally than legally over in dam!!!

    It doesn't make any differance to the government how much it costs to make them they would still be over priced just like ciggys and booze are at the moment

    possibly due to the fact it is pretty much alone in legalising cannabis... therefore trade links will not be well establised and im sure the costs of getting the weed to holland are pretty high... plus many other factors that would contribute... if it became legal in a wide sense i could see the price being very low.

    If drugs were legal and used during the week, britain's workers would be useless.

    Well obviously if you or a mate has a few plants on the go you're going to get weed a lot cheaper than what you'd have to buy, but that's weed. Any fucker could grow it if they wanted.

    But if you're after pills/speed/acid or something like that, which have a fucking lot more complicated manufacturing process then you're not going to get it cheaper after passing many hands from a chemist in Eastern Europe or something who is risking his freedom doing it anyway.

    Like I say, unless you know a chemist yourself, which most people don't then it's very unlikely you'd get it any cheaper.
