Extra business for criminals

By making recreational drugs illegal is society just making extra business for criminals?

Yes.

It's threads like this that the .gif format was invented. Shame they're forbidden.

It's not just money for criminals, it's extra funding for guards which just gets soaked up by policing drugs but the guards are used to spending that money on drug enforcement now. I'd say there's plenty of money to be made on the enforcement side of the drug trade.

I don't think the government wants to rock the boat, the fact is legalised drugs would free up millions for other police work but there are middlemen that are profiteering from the states stance on drugs.

If they got rid of all the laws there wouldn't be any criminals.

I'm sure they need this in the politics cafe.

I think we need to define "recreational drugs". Is it drugs for functioning junkies?

cloud493 · 08-09-2014 5:10pm

Sure in that sense, any illegal drug could also be defined as recreational.

Drugs that the majority of users use, without experiencing any major negative health, addiction, or quality of life issues from. Or there abouts, I think is the general understanding/definition.

Oh great, so just legislate the 'starting threads that've been done a thousand time before' issue away then? Driving the repeat thread issue even further underground, and marginalising those thread starters even more?

You ****ing fascist.

I believe this thread will answer that question once and for all.

At this point I must declare my interest in that I made money from Cannabis being illegal. I was the owner and Driver of the "Midnight Express" Cannabis smokers bus from Manchester and London to Amsterdam that operated every weekend throughout the 90's.

The British customs were my friends. If they weren't doing their job properly then my passengers would not have needed to make the journey. We rarely had problems at Customs.

I still believe that Cannabis should be legal everywhere, even though I made money transporting people to where it was tolerated.

I don't think most drug dealers feel that way though. Why is the government in partnership with them by giving them all the business?

Was thinking criminals were becoming movie extras to make cash on the side when I read the title.

Guy:Incognito · 08-09-2014 5:41pm

Yeah they should make them legal and tax them. Then thered be no criminality associated with them. Like cigarettes......

You follow drugs, you get drug addicts and drug dealers. But you start to follow the money, and you don't know where the **** it's gonna take you.
