Topic: 84% of Brits think the war on drugs has failed (Read 1824 times)
severe punishment to the death penalty could reduce drug trafficking and illicit drugs, in addition to the raids against the ports of drug in each country must continue to be made, sometimes there is the behavior of state officials who are trying to protect illicit goods business, with the hope that they will benefit which is greater than the narcotics business, the conduct of the officials of this country should be followed up, because it would be fatal for the nation ... hopefully the fate of the youth in a country is not contaminated by narcotics ...
84% is an overwhelming majority. Hopefully policy changes will be made on a government level to reflect that.
I despise the argument by anti-drug supporters that claim drug use will rise if they are legalized. Illegality doesn't lead to no access. It only leads to black market sales which are dangerous and unsafe.
Most drugs that are illegal are dangerous regardless of where they are sold. This is simply based on the effects that the drugs have on you. The few drugs that are not dangerous will often cause people to get involved in dangerous drugs.Quote
Prohibition has failed to curb the popularity of narcotics, as the number of Britons who have taken drugs continues to increase.

I don't see how you can link how safe a drug is with weather or not it is sold on the black market
That argument is equally ridiculous. Anything when abused can be harmful to you. If you eat too much, you'll get fat and have heart disease. You take too many prescription pain killers, you become addicted and have liver issues. Alcohol and cigarettes are legal but abuse of either will lead to cancer or liver failure.
Many of those drugs that are illegal - amphetamines, cocaine, heroine - are altered in street sales which contributes to the danger. The pure forms or derivatives created in labs are still used to treat people medicinally.
legit tax from alcohol and cigarettes is needed by Gov.
In some 3rd country tax from both stuff is the biggest income for their Gov.

Just because the government can make money from taxing it doesn't mean it should be legal. I'm all for legalization, I just don't think that particular argument is sound. The government could make a lot of money from selling "slapping licenses" too that allow you to slap anyone without repercussion. That doesn't mean that's why slapping should be legal.

I want to know who are the 16% that think the war has been won.

Why are cigarettes and alcohol legal? Those are the two 'gateway drugs'. They're also very dangerous and kill millions, more so than most of the other illegal drugs combined.

A for-profit prison system is a scourge of a "free" people. There are some limits to where the free market should be allowed to go, and imprisonment is one of those limits.
I am not for abandoning the imprisonment completely. But I'll partially agree with you by saying that private companies should be banned from the prison business. It should be run by the government.
as long as the police can be bribed, the truth wont ever come out...
war on drugs is all about making profit, nothing more.
It's not war on drugs, it's war for drugs
I guess every country in the world still not win on war againts drug , specially in 3rd world country.
Death penalty for drug dealer is the answer , no matter big dealer or only small dealer.
Can you imagine how much money has been burn for Drug everyday in this world ? A LOT
And money can buy anything in this world , not all but 90% yes it can
So war againts drug will never ending in short time , or maybe will not end at all

If the drugs are legalized, the prison population will be reduced by more than 75% and the violent crimes will decrease by more than half. Now... who doesn't want that to happen? The organized crime gangs...
And the prison industry complex is benefiting from the increase prisoners also.

Deregulation doesn't necessarily mean bad things will happen it means it will be easier to monitor and reduce the costs of policing and the strength of drug cartels, might have some money shifting to preventative care and drug houses but in all a net benefit to society.
Kind of a tricky one but from what we know an alternative approach may work best.

What does the government have to do with what people do with their bodies? Let people produce and consume drugs if they want.
The problem is drugs don't only affect the bodies but on the peoples minds. Drugs are addictive and has other harmful efects. Have you been to a country with rampant drug problems?

I would disagree. The war on drugs is to protect people from being manipulated and from becoming addicted to drugs beyond their control. When someone is addicted to drugs they tend to commit more crimes so they can continue to feed their addictionI would agree on keeping certain drugs off-limits, but the current policy of having two allowed and everything else banned isn't a good one.
Stuff like marijuana, khat maybe LSD, mushrooms and such I don't see point of banning adults from using.
Now heroin, crack, meth and stuff like crocodile yes... No point allowing them outside controlled circumstances.
drugs is the number one enemy that can destroy a nation, when many young people in a country already taking drugs, so watch the destruction of the nation, it is very easy if we want to destroy a country, destroy the youth was first ... hopefully the youth of our country are not taking drugs, we can start from ourselves ... 
Education against drug start from home. Can't expect the government to protect someone who want to harm themselves.
