nextstep: NDLEA suppose investigate you. NO COUNTRY has cocaine as legal because it kills. Not one country. This is how you foolish people come online and spread lies to justify your criminality. Even weed has only in the last few years been made legal in some US states with a medical prescription. |

Speaktruth88: Indeed, no country. Unlike what's shown here. There are indications of countries as varied as Brazil, Switzerland, Columbia, Greece have decriminalized it for private use. If we'd said the same thing about weed 10 years ago, you probably would have said the same thing. It's actually legal for recreational use (not just prescription) in 18 states including California and New York. Drugs are harmful and addictive, yes. However, the war on it cocaine has not stopped the people in USA and other wealthy countries from buying it, and only enriches criminals. Decriminalize it, is all I'm saying.

Consequently, diagnoses among people who inject drugs in those countries are low." In addition, google search results:

egunna: Upon all the war-against-drugs, it's a $350-billion industry according to estimates. Because it's illegal, criminals make a *huge* chunk of this, people end up dead due to gang-related activity, and people do all kinds of dangerous things to make, transport, obtain and use them. There are laws in Oregon USA, Mexico, Switzerland, Netherlands, and a handful of others that have decriminalized it because the facts show that it's ultimately safer for people to sell and obtain without resorting to violence, drug houses, drug mules, or the larger social costs of incarceration, the secondary effects of disease/infection etc. Yes, it's dangerous and addictive, but since people who want it are getting it - despite being illegal - it can be regulated so it's safer for consumption, like any other drug or food - which is ultimately better for consumers. The mindset about Marijuana has changed significantly in the past 20 years... I suspect it's only a matter of time for the same to be true of cocaine - despite how much more dangerous and addictive it is. Some countries are slowly taking a stance of treatment, vs. punishment for addicts, and you'll see the evolution of thought more towards open use. |

nextstep: Did you read what you sent? Decriminalised meant not arresting people for being caught with a small amount on their person as opposed to trafficking which is what these criminals are doing. I don tire for una on this platform. Stop spreading false information to get people in trouble |

Speaktruth88: I agree with you. I should have emphasized that cocaine should be legalized. The thrust of my argument is: "if it's no longer illegal to manufacture, transport, possess, or use a drug, it would remove all the illegal activities currently involved". Drug smuggling won't be a thing anymore, and neither would be all the loss of life and incarceration that currently results. The current war on drugs does not prevent those who want it from getting it, so to me it's wasted effort. Decriminalization - to me - is typically a first step towards legalization. 1 Like |
