I mean i can't believe i am arguing with u on this obvious point.

there are times when i have wanted to do coke on a night out, but havent done it simply because i couldnt get it and the next morning i go, thank fuck for that i didnt get it.
if i had been able to get it behind the bar at the club, i would probably have an addiction problem by now, i wouldnt be studying at university and i would be coked out of my head every night. how many people will be like me?

you can't just simply swish everyone in the same group by you definiltey wanting something or not wanting something.

heck being in the porn biz you should know what an impulse buy is.
That's exactly it, as far as something get's socially accepted that's where the real trouble starts - mass spread and with that way more people far away from recreational users.. therefore further degeneration of already super degenerated society..

Why alcohol and smoking kills so many people? because it's totally widespread and tolerated

Why puting it illegal won't work as in case of prohibition? because it's totally widespread and tolerated

Instead of fighting drugs we have succesfully introduced another drug to be totally widespread and tolerated, mind altering and with problematic mental affects while constantly used, as referenced above..

and if you think it would eliminate drug crime you are also kiding. the crime lords would go, but if you think they would go completly you are wrong, they would move into other markets

also junkies who run out of money would go start breaking into shops just like they do with alcohol shops now. infact it would be worse because the addiction is worse.

you would see alot more drug addict street crime.


i don't mean to be rude to you as its a good theory and your attacking it in the right way, but quite simply in practise it just wouldnt work. just try reading an microeconomics book. luxory goods etc.
As confirmed by the case of Sweden or Switzerland..

I guess overally what I would probably vote for - decriminalisation of the possession or medical use, more impact on prevention, strict punishment for dealing

Legalisation won't really solve a thing.. it will just bring massive widespread thus more problematic cases ..
