Drugs Legalization and Its Results

Drugs Legalization and Its Results Drugs Legalization Mar 26, 2018 in Law Legalizing Drugs in Society The opponents of drugs legalization believe that the fight against drugs is yet to succeed in eradicating drugs from the society, though they appreciate that the effort is not in vain. While drug abuse has increased among different population cohorts in the last decade, it is still significantly lower than it was in the 1990s. Therefore, though the fight against narcotic substances has not been able to wipe drugs from the society, proponents believe, it has significantly influenced the drug use. According to William Bennett, an activist in struggle against abuse of drugs and other substances in the US, the concept of the fight should be revisited. He said that the concept behind the campaign against drugs has been a flaw. He argues that the most effective way of curbing the abuse of drugs is by making it possible for the drugs addicts to obtain drugs from some registered dealers. Those who hold similar opinion as William suggest that drugs from Mexico and the Caribbean should be allowed into the US market in a regulated system. According to Mike Royko, this system would sweep the junkies out of the gutter, and provide a relief to those who are fighting a losing battle against the narcotics. Similarly, Robert W., a federal judge, while supporting legalization of drugs, referred to the effort against drugs as a bankruptcy of ideas.
