All Drugs Should be Legal

In my opinion not all drugs should be legal but some of the illegal ones are not as bad as they are said to be. For instance pot, which is the name i am using because I honestly do not know how to spell the formal name, is used to help those with certain diseases but it is illegal. Some people are pointing out that it is illegal because people misuse it but then again people also misuse advil and other every day medications when they are either looking for a buzz or to end their life. Now since some people misuse advil, why do not we make that one illegal too?

However i am not saying that all illegal drugs should be legal. Meth for instance is an extremely harmful and addictive drug and it should stay illegal in my personal opinion. Meth destroys your life because you will do anything to get some and anything to get more. Stealing, quitting school to go get high off meth and selling yourself are things people do because of i.

Also, age limits on alcohol and tobacco are something i have to give my two cents worth in the peanut gallery. Even though we have an age limit on drinking and smoking people under the age do it anyway. Those underage drinkers all end up doing stupid things like drinking and driving or drinking too much which is the same problem we have with alcoholics who are the correct age. Underage drinking also does the same damage that it does later on.

So when you think about illegal drugs and underage drinking and smoking think about the effects overall and the benefits.
