Legalise All Drugs!

Legalise and regulate all drugs.

Freedom! I would even say we have a right to them.
(There is a book called "Our Right to Drugs" by Thomas Szasz).

We should be free to do what we like as long as what we chose to do does not affect anyone else's freedom to do the same.

Just seen that Alex James thing about Colombia and cocaine. Great programme. Not sure if I agree with the conclusion.

Surely legalisation and regulation is the answer.

Same goes for heroin in Afghanistan - all that morphine could be used in hospitals!

I am anti-drugs. I think they're a load of cock. But I am pro-freedom and individual autonomy.

If you legalised and regulated drugs, maybe less people would take them not more!?
That's my belief anyway.

Surely, the best way to deal with the problem of drugs is to legalise and regulate them.

Same goes for suicide.
If suicide was legal and easy and a civil right as it should be, I think maybe there would be less of it.

Same with prostitution. It's a freedom thing. If it exists and if it is going to exist whatever you do, then legalise and regulate it.

Definitely true of drugs. You can't really stop drugs being made so ... legalise and regulate it.

If drugs were given out to addicts by GPs or whatever - as they used to be- , it would also avoid a great deal of crime.
A very large percentage of crime is drugs-related.

An alternative would be abolitionist answers.
The response to such abolitionist answers would be:
Firstly, what about individual freedom?
Secondly, would abolition work practically?
