Something else we discussed in class that I wanted to address was the idea of making drugs legal. Some members of the group felt that legalising drugs was a good idea and argued that as well as discouraging people from taking drugs, the move would also make drugs safer and reduce drug related deaths.
My opinion on this is that it is a bad idea. I think that people always want things as cheap and easy as they can get them, so the underground drug dealers would remain even after legalising drugs. For example, DVDs and Cd's are available for us to buy, yet millions download them free or buy them for a fraction of the price from people selling them illegally.
I also think that legalising drugs would send out the wrong message, especially to the youth of today. It would basically be saying that society has given the go ahead to taking drugs.
