We should legalise all drugs.

ARGGGGGGGGGGGH

NO NO NO NO NO

Haha. Whilst i am not a massive fan of monopolies of anything i believe they are the best option in this case. Private companies would happily push the most addictive and expensive drugs in order to boost profit; they would find a way to cut drugs and sell inferior product. It is necessary to ensure that the corporate gangsters of the multi-national pharmaceutical companies don't replace the street dealers. Why do you not want a monopoly?

you're highly deluded if you think legalizing drugs will solve so many socially and economically related drugs problems.

Everyone who contributes towards this nation, through taxation etc, should be able to use it's national health facilities. That's why even if someone has a chronic/terminal disease, we offer them treatment, rather than saying "oh no, you've used up your share of NHS time and money".
And yes, I think people who suffer from an addiction are worthy of NHS time and money, in the same way that someone who suffers from depression is. Addiction in itself is a medical condition, so it deserves treatment.

Ok, I hope you're happy when one of your close relatives dies from a heroin overdose or become apathetic because of Cannabis.

Pro-legalisation views can be so naive, really. Think of the wider consequences and not just the crime issue. It would be surrendering sensibility to drugs.

No-one generally brings a terminal disease on themselves though. By treating a drug addict you're not solving the root issue, the drugs themselves. So they get patched up and then go out and get wasted again? I'm not saying anyone should have a 'share' of NHS time, that would be stupid, but what is the point of treating someone who is going to just repeat the process again, even though it's fully in their power to stop it.

There is a drug problem which is vast in scale, with the governments spending billions to eliminate the supply and use of non prescription drugs. However this is achieving little as millions across the globe still consume a variety of drugs. The government policy is not only ineffective but greates a black market which leads to crime and violence and even as far as terrorism. The demand for drugs directly collides with the huge amounts of laws against them resulting in low value goods reaching insanely high prices on the streets; this lucrative business obviously attracts criminal gangs who control a market valued at £300 odd billion. Large numbers of drug users are poor and this can often force them into crime and prostitution; yet the drugs they receive are poor quality and mixed with poisonous substances (see the Talk to Frank advert ) and this creates an even greater health risk.

Current drug policy is based on the fantasy of a drug free world yet history has shown us this is impossible. If we adopt a policy of regulation and control by effectively legalizing drugs under a state monopoly then we will eliminate the black market. This will end the problems of needle sharing etc. Most drugs will be required to be consumed on premise but "social drugs" like weed will be allowed to be taken out. It will also have a huge economic benefit.

Tl;dr: legalize drugs as current policy is stupid and end drug related crime

so fat people that keep on eatting, smokers that keep on smoking after they have been told to stop, people drinking after their liver has packed in, what the point of treating them, they keep on doing the stuff that is killing them

Yea man, ban food! Nobody likes fat people.

They have to take responsibility for their well-being at some point, don't they...

but then we all do
then we can go drivers should be treated if they had a accident driving

Yes we should.

If nothing else, it's called personal freedom. The passive act of talking a drug does not cause any harm whatsoever (except to yourself, in some cases). No Government should have the power to dictate what its citizens can and cannot do with/to/put into their own bodies.

Aye, but it is generally much harder to determine who or what was responsible for any given road accident. Obviously, if someone drives themselves off a bridge on purpose and survives the fall they shouldn't necessarily be treated for it, especially if it's a suicide attempt

so whats the point of the NHS, or the point of treatment at all, went everything can be linked to personal actions

You're missing the point. I'm against those who actively aim to harm themselves being treated, as all they will do is repeat the cycle.
