Here you get like 0,5 to 5 years for raping.. and like 3 to 10 years for murdering someone.
Still our crime rate is very low.
And seriously this "drug on war" thing is so dumb.. People just can't accept that the oldfashion "ban it" thing isn't working...
What happens when you allow drugs ?
1. Like 50% less people you have to put in jail.. that means you can have murderers, rapists and others for a longer time in jail.
2. The government starts selling it... and that cuts the legs of the ilegal business around drugs... So less people will become criminals just because they use drugs.
3. Drugs will become cheaper and SAFER so thats good for the people that were unlucky to get addicted to them.
4. The rate of people using drugs might actually go DOWN.. since its not as exciting anymore.. Also the government could use they money they made by selling the drugs.. to help people that get addicted more and for FREE... also spend money to inform people how dangerous these drugs can be.
Its not just people addicted to drugs that agree with this.. many people that hate what drugs have done to them or their family members... but still think it being legal would make things better. This war against drugs is something you can't win.. you just have to accept it and help the ones that are unlucky and get addicted. |
