Prohibition works as Quitly Control, it raises prices, weeds out the bad dealers and delivers a Better, lower cost product. Decriminalize and watch the drug market fall apart.
Right, like the current efforts of states to decriminalize marijuana has caused the marijuana market to crash? I dont think so. Every time something is legalized, you get way more of it.
Decriminalize and watch the drug market fall apart.
Decriminalize it and watch the drug market flourish. I just spent today in downtown Orlando stepping over dozens of winos. Increase the availability and lower the cost of a cheap high better than alcohol and they will flock to it.
Asinine!
There are plenty of cheap drugs on the streets today, I remain unconvinced that decriminalize will make it cheaper. It will allow the government to regulate and tax it, but there will still be “bottlegging” - like selling vegetables out of your garden at the road side.
Quality control... this might make the non-addict community feel better, but it won’t relieve the dangers and the negative effects, the suffering, the health problems, the vagrancy, the crime to get money to feed their habit, etc. High functioning addicts (you know people with professions, jobs etc) will like your suggestion though...until their health and lives are destroyed.
