if drugs become legal most of the prisons will be empty. but the number of addicted people will increase as it will be available everywhere easily

I don't think so. In countries where drugs are legalized, the percentage of the population which use them went down (although only slightly). A perfect example is Portugal, where a decline in heroin addiction was observed after the legalization. I don't know why this happened. One possible reason would be the absence of drug gangs, who encourage teenagers and youth to take drugs.

Guarantee at least 5% of the population of the world would be dead within a week, possibly an even greater % and probably so.  Sad

all drugs have negative effect for human and if that really happen i think a whole world will be chaotic and crime acts everywhere because drugs needed money so i think because if they were running out of money for buying drugs people will start to robber banks or supermarket

It would be the end of the world.  Crime here crime there crime everywhere.  Those drugs were illegal because of what it can do to its host.  Humans can do outrageous things as they see the world as an imagination.  It would be the end of humans as everyone will just kill just like that.

This is why we say that a little learning is a dangerous thing.

If the drugs are legalized, then the crime rate will fall steeply, and the prison population will decline by a good amount. Most of the crime in the world is fuelled (either directly or indirectly) by the drug trade. If the drugs are made legal, then the drug gangs will cease to exist, and violent battles between law enforcement officials and drug peddlers will end.

And biggest of all, cops will stop shooting innocent people who they think they are drug dealers, but are not.

Cool

I think they are just thinking that killing those drug dealers or drug lords is the solution or they are just trying to push drug lord to stop selling those drugs.. so that people addicted to drugs will not doing bad things..

Are you trying to say that when cops shoot non-drug dealers by mistake, it is a good thing Huh

What would happen if drugs became legal? People would forget the more dangerous alcohol, and use the drugs instead.

Then the alcohol companies would die out, and the few people who wanted alcohol would make their own wine at home.

When the alcohol industry turned away from booze, all the things in manufacturing that use alcohol to make their products would go up in price. Everything in the economy would turn upside down.

I wonder if the alcohol industry and the government realize this?

My mule don't like people laughing
I read somewhere in the the forum that after the silk road bust, online drugs sales has actually increased. so that got me wondering, what possible outcomes do you see if all drugs became legal? do you think that would make society better? worse? same?

We don't have to think we already know what will happen.

Portugal Decriminalized all drugs in 2001. Here is an article explaining why and what happened after.

It will be the first step towards the decline of a nation state. More youth will use drugs when it will become legal. The future of a state depends upon its youth if youth gets involved in drugs it will be an alarming situation for the nation state.

Very well said Cheesy *clap. Yup thats really the point of that. If we are talking to the drugs that is using for self pleasure or anything then it could brought worse events but if we use it in a proper way then it would cause a very good effect to you. Legal drugs then lot of the youth uses it then it can break the dreams and futures...

In my opinion if drugs get legal always have a crime everywhere and everyday because if you are in high dosage of drugs you didn't know what are doing if right or bad.

That can be said about Alcohol as well. Do you favor banning alcohol?

Your country may be your worst enemy
I would like all drugs to be legal, but that change cannot come alone. We also need the demise of all public medical insurance to make people fully responsible if something bad happens after they've had drugs.

i think that if drug use becomes legal, number of people who use illegal drugs will go down . when something is banned, humans have a tendency to use more . Therefore, drugs must be legal for decreasing its usage for sure.

I am not sure whether the usage will go down or not. But these will happen:

1. Number of deaths from overdose will be close to zero
2. Drug users may not need to use toxic alternatives, when they could not find the real stuff
3. The prison population will decline.

All drugs are lawful right now. If you want to be part of a system that makes them illegal, then for you they are not legal.

When you look around the world, there are many places you can go where government won't even bother you with the illegal. But if you want to use drugs at home, simply keep them locked up so that they are inaccessible to others, and then they are even legal for you.

Of course, if somebody from government tells you that they are illegal, and you want to believe government people... your choice.

how can i imagine this will be happened  Undecided
first our world is full of pain and diseases that is why we should heal it and society from those problems not to heighten it.
people in all the world  should fight this Phenomenon of drugs abuse to decrease the number of drugs taking, second if drugs became legal , all people will be addicted and drugs will be sold in the street and everywhere .. and undoubtedly young people and teenagers are going to be the mainly damaged from that, which augment the correption in society ....
and the world will get more and more worse because such laws that may threaten human race because of the increased number of dead  by over dose.. and in our world many people are suffering from drugs and like this permission their number will grow quickly and then whatever they do, laws will not be enough to control the selling dangerous drugs to youngs that absolutly would make society very worst
