Legalising drugs not the crime answer

If this was the solution it would have been already implemented throughout the world, especially in countries like the US where the effects of using such drugs are very noticeable and drug use has become a habit.

At present we have a lot of legalised pharmaceutical drugs on the market and yet the Internet is overburdened with duplicated but harmful copies of these drugs at knock-down prices.

Illegal drugs may have been around for centuries but few people were using these substances to satisfy an urge to feel happy or distort their senses.

Today many illegal drugs have acquired a reputation for transforming the character and attitudes of human beings, driving them to a feeling of superiority and to do things that are impossible or contrary to normal human behaviour.

Illegal drugs have been proven to be linked to criminal activities and in practically every nation have been labelled as dangerous and banned.

To legalise these dangerous, illegal drugs is asking for uncontrollable problems in any society. Just imagine what a difference it would make to the levels of crime and lawlessness throughout the world.

Today it is crucial that the supply of illegal drugs be kept under strict control, and those who participate in the manufacture and distribution of such drugs be dealt with in a drastic and severe manner in order to stop the expansion of crimes throughout the world.
