Alwyas a good topic for debate

My view would be this

For Legalising Drug

- Additional tax which could be diverted to public funds or lessing the overall tax bill on your wage.
- It would make the scum known as drug dealers unemployed in effect, or would it?
- Production could be controlled
- Possible reduction in organised crime

Against

- Addictions would most likey sore, imagine if heroin became as common as a cigarette, the tax on drugs would have to be plowed into health care and rehab programs thereby causing extra burden on joe blow the taxpayer.
- Where do you stop? If you legalise drugs, then people will want more, why not legalise speeding for instance.
- It would send the wrong message, plus there would have to be an age restriction would ultimatley end up being broken resulting in kids turningup high for school.
