The legalization of drugs is a very complicated issue that requires a good deal of thought. Drug legalization and community support services are the real cure, including full funding for treatment. In 2002, only one-fifth of drug remedies were used for rehabilitation. Equally important is the eradication of poverty and the lack of opportunities that make drugs attractive. The illegality of drugs generates exorbitant prices, which translate into very high profits. Benefits that the law considers illegal by prohibition. Police corruption is seriously exacerbated in the current interdiction scenario, and the police themselves therefore find an obstacle to a more effective fight against property that already cannot be disposed of. I feel like the article (which I like, it`s just constructive criticism) falls into the arc to attack the ban as too ineffective. If they could be banned effectively, without corruption and at low cost, the number of arguments would decrease considerably. As DR. Blackmon notes in his book „Moral Deaths,“ drug prohibition has contributed to the spread of HIV among intravenous drug users. Other diseases, such as hepatitis, are also on the rise due to these drugs outside of any legal market control.
Since drugs were banned, the sale of sterilized needles has been restricted. By legalizing drugs, they would be safer and the sale of hygiene utensils would be freely allowed. The legalisation of drugs in Portugal in 2000 led to a reduction in HIV infection among drug addicts in that country to almost the European minimum. The war on drugs has also increased the number of women incarcerated eightfold since 1980, the majority of whom are women of color. Women sentenced to drug-related sentences, many of whom are mothers, are generally sentenced to longer prison terms than men. I seem to remember that in Portugal, in 2000, they did not legalise drugs, but decriminalised them, did they? The negative externalities they cause must be the subject of a profound debate: drug use in public institutions, parks, public squares, streets, etc. In this regard, intravenous heroin would be particularly problematic. We have already talked about the advantages and disadvantages of drugs in another article that you also have compared to this other article on why people use drugs? can read. „If we look at drug prohibition from a purely economic perspective, the role of the government is to protect a cartel.“ Milton Friedman Spain has the dubious honor of the OECD to be a leader in drug use, school failure, unemployment or piracy. And I have no doubt that everything is related to a lack of self-discipline, responsibility and thinking that most rights are not an obligation to another. We need a real revolution in education. Not through military or police action, as current policy provides.
Drug addiction, like alcoholism, is a social and public health problem. Pushing drugs underground, like the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s, only raises prices and attracts crime and police raids into poor communities. The ban also favours organized crime because of the huge profits made on the black market. The illicit market caused by drug prohibition is also causing serious social damage worldwide. The current war on drugs in Mexico is just the latest example. For some time now, a debate has emerged that for a long time – but not always – seemed non-existent: that of the legalization of drugs. In recent years, more than 15 states have legalized marijuana in the United States and more than twenty have legalized it for medical purposes. Today, the majority of Americans support the legalization of marijuana.
But why should we support the legalization and freedom of drugs? Here are 10 reasons: Today we are going to talk about the arguments against the legalization of drugs and what they are based on to draw conclusions. We have already talked about the risk of drugs in another article: the risks of drug use. The „system“ has led to the highest incarceration rate in the world. For black men between the ages of 20 and 24, that`s one in nine. 80% of all arrests are for drug possession, 40% of drug arrests for marijuana. Freedom, even to do things right, is an absolute value, the only common good that exists, an end in itself and not a mere means to achieve certain moral ends independently of that. The legalization of drugs would undoubtedly bring all these benefits and, as Caesar points out, would ruin the perfect symbiosis of the state with the cartels, but even if this were not the case, there is an earlier and fundamental reason whose omission or overcoming is surprising. The public health system that dealt with drug addicts would have been eliminated – the addict must take full responsibility for his actions. Drugs should stop being a mitigating factor in other crimes, and the health problems they cause in the user should not be communitized by the rest of society (for example, I do not have to pay for liver transplantation caused by continued alcohol consumption) Excellent Lozano and good reviews from Pizarro and Escorihuela. But I wanted to bring a modest grain of sand to this subject. I believe that drugs benefit from the protection of states (I see him coming to Bastiat).
Just to see that the FARC in Colombia is fifty years old! killings of military and civilian personnel (15-85); The corruption and blackmail of high-ranking politicians in their struggle for power and yet all previous governments, all without exception, after each „war on drugs“, continue a period of no less extensive „negotiations“ with these murderers, whom they treat and receive in the government palace as a political institution as a whole. 5.- We do not have the right to kidnap and imprison people because they are involved in drugs. And if we are not, then neither is the state. If a good is declared illegal, who is generally responsible for its distribution and offering? As it should be obvious, then these experts break the law. Prices, in addition to prohibited goods or products, increase significantly, also due to the high cost of exploitation outside the law. With the ban, we attract experts to break the law with the added allure of great benefits. By legalizing drugs, anyone who respects law and order could go to the open market for these goods and products. As Friedman said, illegality stimulates the cartelization of the drug market because it is not subject to free competition. The democratic caste (yes, the state) is only temporary and they try to plunder what they can for as long as they can, which is why a libertarian hates the democratic state.
Wouldn`t a monarchical parliamentary government be better for our freedom, our heritage and our health? (Hoppe) Certainly, for his own safety, a monarch would have already released drugs to end the massive wars on drugs and their mass killings of civilians as in Chiapas and throughout South America. And are the remaining drugs legalized in Bolivia? And are marijuana and cocaine legalized? Even their use is punished, I repeat: to end (or minimize) corruption and violence, all drugs should be legalized and in all countries (when the dry law ended, the mafia set to work to find other substances to carry). In my opinion, a multilateral agreement would be preferable; His proposal for a unilateral decision and the fact that the rest of the countries are imitating him seems to me to be putting a bandage on a wound that must be sutured. In any case, it is clear that this is a very complex solution that needs to be discussed. Thank you, I will be happy to read the text you recommend. Best wishes. In low-income communities, jobs, education and opportunities are extremely limited. Street drugs can be a kind of self-medication for those with a bleak future. But poverty and inequality are also fuelling the rebellion. At the same time that the U.S. government is speaking out publicly against drugs, it is also secretly selling narcotics. The United States has a long history of manipulating drugs to conceal political fears of power abroad and social control at home.
