All illegal drugs should be legalised
No drugs should be prohibited. Individuals should be free to choose to take drugs, and, where harm is caused to others, should face criminal charges for the harm caused not the consumption of the drugs. Policy should focus on the misuse of drugs.
One possible response to the unsatisfactory nature of the current state of the law would be to say that all or some of the drugs that are now illegal should be ‘legalized’.
That word can mean almost anything, from legalizing the mere possession of one or more drugs to legalizing the growth, production and sale, as well as the possession, of all drugs.
Suitably adapted, these general arguments can be used for or against the legalization of any given drug or of any activity – such as growth, sale or possession – related to any given drug.
