4 year old dealer busted at school

Winning isn't the goal, getting the current status quo will do.

That's not very good either. The addicts are a pretty much foregone case, but the problem is stopping new addicts. Perhaps if anti-drug campaigns utilized a more gruesome factor in their awareness by showing the faces of long term addicts, not as a shaming means, but as an indicator of what hard drug addiction does to you.

The war on drugs cannot win, as long as there is demand, there will be a supplier.

Winning isn't the goal, getting the current status quo will do.

Make it legal and the amount of addicted hard drug users would explode. And that is not the kind of society I want to live in.


Btw, whatever you would do, there will be still rape, active paedophiles, murder... You can't win that one too, so let's make it legal! Brilliant, isn't?

No one go's down to the pub and orders the girl next to him tied up and gagged.

When drugs are legalized, they will be sold at government sponsored stores, with a heavy tax.

There will be no need for runners, let alone kiddies as runners.

Mother Fucking Gangsta: "Fuck! We have to stop our illegal crack lab!"

Bling-Bling Gangsta: "Doh? Why?"

Mother Fucking Gangsta: "The bitches of the government will sell dope WITH a high tax"

Bling-Bling Gangsta: "High tax? That means those bitches will be more expensive as us, stupid!"

Mother Fucking Gangsta: "Oh? Doh? Let's build another lab then..."

While there are valid arguments against the legalisation of drugs, there are many in favour of, such as by legalising it. We can reduce the stigma of drug usage and allow people to come forward to their doctors and discuss any usage that may have affected their health. It would allow a better gathering of actual usage statistics and allow us to get a better of idea of actual rates of addiction. Moreover, if it is legal, if we know who is using the different drugs, we can better learn to treat addiction because we will see the affects across more people.

I agree that we shouldn't lock up users, but instead should focus more on the dealers (small & big fishes).

I believe that in my country that it's rare that they lock up drug users and if they do then it's mostly correlated with a criminal crime they committed to get hard drugs.

I don't think it's a wise idea to make hard drugs legal, much more people would get access and put themselves in big troubles. Stuff like crystal meth, crack and heroin is not what I call recreational stuff that you can try out safely a few times. You will be addicted rather soon, sometimes already after the first use.

There is a program here in Canada. Currently it's ongoing in Vancouver (BC) with the possibility of being introduced in Toronto as well (though, it may not happen) called InSite. Which the Tories seem to think is a terrible idea. The basis for this is that it allows users to come off the street. It reduces the chance of needles being shared, thus curbing the potential spread of diseases through contaminated needles. It also was designed to provide a rehab program for those who wanted it.

While I can see your point...Are you aware that illegal drug trafficking have a lot of costs that a legal traffic wouldn't face? Security, bribes to cops and other officers, transport and smuggling costs, thugs, rival gangs...

For example, I am pretty sure that you could produce and sell right now cheaper whisky than the legal one, but the profit would be worth of all the effort and cost of concealing the trade?, when you can perfectly and legally buy the drug?

Well, cigarettes are rather cheap and legal. But still many criminal gangs are highly interested in selling them.

Cigarettes are not cheap here.

I feel this is the most extreme measure the addict has done to entice youngsters into drug addiction. Terrible. I really hope that the 4-year-old will grow up not to be addicted to drugs, because it is a tragedy to be addicted to it.

[Aelosia]

[Well, cigarettes are rather cheap and legal. But still many criminal gangs are highly interested in selling them.

Cheap? Where do you live? I want to go there.

Cigarrettes are expensive, in most parts of the world. Mostly due to an unfair tax burden on innocent people. Yet, There are no "pirate" cigarrettes or alternate illegal brands or products. Only smuggling.

Same would happening to drugs. Illegals would turn just into smugglers.

And the government is also taxing the hell out of it, raising the prices to a god-awful amount. To say that illegal marijuana is cheaper than legal marijuana is just stupid. Because it is not. The only time it is cheaper is if it is schwag, in which case you stay away from.

Here you have a link for the prices of Marlboro Red:

http://www.landenportal.nl/informatie/s ... rlboro.htm

Prices ranges from around 1 Euro to 9 Euro, inside Europe.

I assume you understand that this alone is making room for illegal cigarettes.

But there’s more, some criminal groups create fake cigarettes in by instance China including with a perfect copy of the seal of a specific country for peanuts.

Those fake cigarettes could sometimes be very dangerous for your health.

That you don’t notice those smuggled and fake cigarettes doesn’t mean they are not around you. In most cases you are just not aware.

The illegal cigarette business is a big business:

• More than a million fake cigarettes are seized in UK alone EVERY day.
• Smuggled cigarettes are good for 15% of the entire cigarette market!

Medical MJ is far more expensive than the one I can buy in a Dutch coffee shop...

The first is 100% legal, the second is semi-legal.

And you pay a lot more for MJ in France, where it is illegal, then in Holland.

Therefore legal=cheaper, therefore dealers have no profit. Surely?

No. Medical MJ in Holland is still more expensive as illegal weed in France. The medical weed isn't loved by the regular and heavy users anyway.

The reason why regular weed is more expensive in France as in Holland is due the risks involved.

People outside The Netherlands have also the false asumption that weed is legal in that country. It's not legal, but tolerated. The suppliers (the coffee shops) have to follow all kind of limiting requirements and currently the government is slowly closing the coffee shops. Last week, the coffee shops of Bergen Op Zoom and Roosendaal are closed permanently. The experiment that started in the 70ties failed.

The main goal of the experiment was lowering the criminal activity in this business and that one didn't work out.
