Only legalize marijuana. For other drugs, insist upon easy availability to rehabilitation clinics; inisist upon a mild probation for first offense, then make recidivist face stiffer and stiffer penalties. Legal prostitution should be closely guarded as to cut down on STDiseases. Gambling-sick, sick, poor sick suckers.
Legalize, regulate and tax. Use the tax revenue to pay for the regulation and rehilibatation of the addicted that desire to get unhoooked. Save the police for drunk drivers, violent crimes, corruption and financial frauds.
What exactly is marijuana "cut" with in the UK and how is that accomplished?
Okay, 'cut' was the wrong word. Don't get me wrong, you can get the pure stuff here but it's rare and very expensive. If you get it from the dealer up the alley though it'll probably be mixed with a very unnatural substance. They just mix it up with anything they can lay their hands on which is the same colour and consistency. That way they can stretch a batch out and make more money.
Look at neighborhoods that all three of those things run rampant.... screw that man, I like my rules.
You miss the point.. if drugs were legal there wouldn't be rampant drug use in the streets, there would be no violent gangs, or drug dealers. Look to the 1920s the mafia dealt in illegal alcohol, when alcohol was legalized it was sold in store, not through the dangerous blackmarket. Why would there still be street prostitutes if brothels were legal? If these things were legalized that doesn't mean more people would partake. Would you visit a prostitute and smoke crack? I sure wouldn't. As for your kids, thats your responsibility to only expose them to what you want to, not the governments.

That sounds bogus to me. "Anything they can get their hands on" Like what, grass clippings?

Ok you are correct that the violence wouldn't be as much of a factor with actually putting out the product... but we don't need these lures everywhere to get potentially get hooked on. This stuff is garbage and you know it... we don't need these things around and damn the people who do want them. Those people get thrown into prison or killed by their kind.
If this sort of thing were legalized, it would be everywhere in America... crime would just take a different face... no longer would vice be localized... it would be in neighborhoods that were once clean of this sort of thing. I definitely don't want that and neither do alot of other law abiding citizens who want to live a wholesome life.... Can't do that with all this garbage on top of the garbage we already have, trying to entice people into it.
These are addictive things we are talking about... how many people have you seen first hand that their lives are forever ruined by 1 of those... not to mention a combination??? I can name you at least a dozen people I know off hand... and you know what? They hate it, they want it gone... but they themselves are too far gone. You say tax it... someone else above and myself say this taxation is going straight to their rehabilitation, its the stupidest most avoidable cycle I have ever seen...
