Lesser penalties also mean that this could be taking advantage. People just continue to use and sell and kill each other because they arent afraid anymore of the penalties so obviously it becomes useless in the first place
Why don't you look at the advantages of decriminalization? The drug users will come out of the closet and the government will be able to monitor them. This will reduce the number of deaths from drug overdose and HIV infections.
Just look too the disadvantage of it.How you know that drug users will come out?And if that happens drug users use drugs in public and children will see it and if you have children you can explain to them what they doing?And how do you know that government can monitor them?And the government want their country called as drugs users sanctuary.I didn't know why you promoting drugs to legalize.
Legalizing drugs is not the same as promoting them. If you want people to stay away from drugs, then you need to introduce better awareness. Identifying the drug users is one of the most important steps in this. And drug usage has declined in all the countries, where drugs were legalized.
but legalizing drugs will be sure to be the head news not only here in the philippines but i think also in some part of the world. we all know that illegal drugs will not lead us to good but instead illegal drugs will just lead us to do bad things or worst doing crimes. so if illegal drugs will be legalized here in our country maybe some addicts from other country will go here in do the said activity.
