Drugs

In my opinion the government should either ban all drugs or allow them all. Personally I feel they should all be banned, including cigarettes and alcohol, even though I drink socially quite frequently. Smoking endangers not only the user but also anyone in the room, however, alcohol consumption can severely impair judgments and has potential to harm others more that tobacco abuse. Everyone is either directly or indirectly affected by legal or illegal drug use and this is why I think there are no ‘ok drugs’. On the other hand, if all of mankind’s vices were taken away then what would happen to a clearly desperate society?

It is not right that governments can collect billions of pounds/ dollars from allowing tobacco and alcohol consumption but at the same time condemn other drugs and claim that these are the drugs causing all the problems.

Thanks for listening (Sort Of)
