Re: Former Police Chief says Legalize All *****
Legalize it and tax it. Once you have the product available legally there's no more need for **** dealers. The people's whose income comes mostly from **** sales also take a hit i.e. gangs. Just a ripple effect.
Sure there are going to be people who say, oh everyone will become a **** addict. Yeah, I could see an increase use in ********* but most folks will stay away from the more hardcore ***** i.e. *******, heroin etc. Why? Because your average **** user is a recreational druggie same like people who ***** *******. Not everyone of them is a full blown alcoholic. With the money you no longer spend on the War on ***** you can put that into rehabilitation centres and with the money you'll get from taxing the stuff you'll still come out way ahead.

Re: Former Police Chief says Legalize All *****
If only things were so easy.There's a law called "The Law of unforeseen consequences" which would strike with a vengeance.Unfortunately it seems to be a problem to which no solution exists.
It's easy to say "let the users **** themselves, that's their business and they are no great loss" but of course these peple are important to somebody.It's easy to say "make it legal and associated crime will disappear" but this is carelessly thought out.Fact is that governments around the world, of all political persuasions,find it necessary to proscribe certain substances.There's no magic wand.

Re: Former Police Chief says Legalize All *****
Here in Britain the government hired a guy to find out what the best way to cope with the **** problem..................when he done his research and gave them an answer of "legalize *****" they promptly fired him..
What is the point asking people that are experts in the field?
Just to disregard there findings when then government doesnt like there answers

Re: Former Police Chief says Legalize All *****
Yeah, it's that easy. Legalize it and all the problems are gone.
The substances won't change just because the law does. And I'm not saying ******* or tobacco is okay, they're **** as well, and more dangerous than numerous *****. If you ask me, they should all be *******.
9 out of 10 people can't handle *****. That's the main issue. They don't know what they're taking, how it effects them, how to dose, when the peak comes or the side-effects. No ***** are that much more potent than ************-based medications (some are the same substance), only they don't have instructions and they're used by irresponsible people most of the time.
If everything would be legal, the number of users would increase, hence the number of casualties would increase. As it is now, ***** is an underground thing. You don't slip into ****-use (contrary to what addicts say), you actively pursue it. Eventually it becomes an addiction if you're careless. And most of these things are poisonous, so an addiction will either damage you permanently or at worst, **** you.
I prefer it the way it is now. If one wants *****, it's not hard to get them if you're street smart. A legalization would just benefit the producers (like tobacco companies today). These producers won't give a damn if people become junkies and throw away their lives. And besides, high people don't belong out in society, just as ***** people don't. People should be able to visit public places without bumping into some crack-addict or someone psyched out on LSD, since they very much effect your judgment, temper and attitude.
That's my 2 cents. I love *****, but prefer to keep them obscure and away from the public, until something proves that everyone can handle them properly.

Re: Former Police Chief says Legalize All *****
It's irrational how some people still think it's great to give cops and judges the authority to have you arrested, locked away and give you a prison record for possession and **** use. In my state of California, there's a severe budget crisis, prisons are overcrowded and dangerous, so there's no need to lock up functioning non-violent **** users with sadistic violent criminals and ruining their employment status or opportunities just becoz they are caught using *****. Sending **** users to over-crowded prisons only makes things worse and when they come out, it's very hard for them to find employment becoz they have a jail record and so many of them end up turning to crime to survive and end up back in jail again

Re: Former Police Chief says Legalize All *****
Im from Scotland and its pretty much the same here , they wont throw you in jail for a little bit of weed though but I know people that have been jailed for 4 years for giving a undercover cop two E , even though she asked him if he knew anyone that could get them , so he went and found someone , got them gave them to her , then he got the jail & that was in a club , he wasnt dealin he just thought he was doing her a favour , I was there but I thought there was something dodgy about her , she just didnt seem to fit in so I kind of kept my distance , 6 of us went out that night & I was the only one that didnt get lifted and at least 3 of them done 2 years or more because they got caught with there own personal ***** , I have a record as well for smokin spliffs at festivals and getting caught with a couple of E & **** , hasnt really affected my job prospects and its only been fines not jail time , I just seem to forget them when I apply for jobs :rofl:
But it has stopped me from travelling abroad , I wanted to go to Florida to see my mate for a few months & do a bit of work with him & see how it would go.............pffffffffffffffft!!! Not a chance , as soon as ***** were mentioned it was , goodbye Habo :wave2:
Aw well Florida & the Usa's loss :rofl:
