Legalization of Drugs

This dispute on whether or not drugs should be illegal or not has been going on since they were first introduced. I have noticed that this war on drugs, we will never win. People have there perspectives on them, some may be that taking them does harm to your body and others that it helps you relieve stress. If instead of trying to stop all the use of drugs, why not just legalize them? The drug prohibition era has not stopped people from trying these illegal substances. By controlling them we can assign the right amount of dosage for people. We will know what gets sold and how much gets taken in by the consumer. By looking at the different parts in Europe that have legalized drugs, they have coffee shops that sell a perfect amount of drugs to people and crime rate is down. If they can legalize drugs and have a great outcome on it, should it not just be a perfect model for us to take example from?            

Legalization of all drugs would definitely help our economy out; it will create jobs for millions. Then we would not have such a bad economy.

People are never going to stop doing drugs and embedding this into our minds does not acquire world peace or stop all the crime relating to this issue. We cannot even keep drugs out of the jails, what is the difference between that and the streets? The people should be the ones to decide whether or not to legalize drugs. We managed to get thru the prohibition on alcohol; we can manage to do the same with drugs at hand. The legality of all drugs would soon enough be the only conclusion we would all agree upon in the coming years and then maybe we can help prevent drug overdoses or crime.
