No, we should pass tougher drug laws

Adults should be free to make decisions about what they injest so long as it doesn't pose significant risks to others.

Drug laws have failed systematically over the last 100 odd years. Addiction is an illness and needs to be treated that way, through proper health and social care.

The United States of America has waged a useless and very expensive "war on drugs" that consisted of tougher laws and enforcement. This resulted in thousands of casual offenders being put behind bars and the black market expanding and becoming more associated with organised crime. Stronger more dangerous types of drugs have also become more common, such as fentanyl, which is much more potent per gram, making smuggling more efficient, but resulting in more deaths overall.

Increasing the risk doesn't prevent use, more people are using weed since it's class B designation. You just increase the likelihood of conflict at the point it's discovered.

the issue is if we keep making it a taboo more people will get hooked into that way of life, if we are able to regulate and decriminalize it we will be able to help people to get out of the issue there is one massive part could be taking the issue and legalising certain substances and being able to tax them in the same way as cigarettes so that we can generate more money for the economy and get rid of traffickers who run in illegal ways

Legalisation of all drugs will eliminate majority of spending in removing organised crime relating to drugs and the tax placed on those substances will be hugely beneficial. As a grown adult I should be allowed to enjoy various forms of non-sobriety or experiment with consciousness. Alcohol is widely consumed and is no less dangerous then cannabis.

Tougher drug laws do not prevent harm and keep people safer, decriminalisation allows for more testing and understanding of drugs and allows people to be more open and or and practice safer drug taking habits.

Just look around you. Drugs will always existed and will ckntinue to exist and people will continue useing themLet's legalise, tax it and control it.

An individual who has the capacity to make their own decisions regarding their health should have the right to decide what is put into their body as long as it does not cause problems for anyone else or put unnecessary strain on the healthcare system. The existing drug laws restrict and criminalise the use of drugs which cause minimal harm and are not addictive, for example, Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). This drug has a low dependance liability and a very low addiction liability. LSD is classified as a class A drug, and could see you spending up to 7 years in prison, and given an unlimited fine or both. Drugs like ethanol (alcohol) have very little restrictions, but harm caused by alcohol use costs the NHS around £3.5 billion each year.

Drugs will be taken no matter what is banned if the drug is accessible and in large quantity (basically any namable drug). And criminalising drugs will only lead to more issues as the money going though the black market of drugs is untouchable from the government

Yes there should be harsher laws on class A drugs
Expect medical drugs should be allowed for medical purposes

An individual's right to put whatever they want in their body. Healthy or otherwise no government should be able to ban any form of consumption. Business models that are set up to distribute said drugs, have an influence upon the education received and addiction services available for when people over medicate.

Drug laws now exist as a barricade towards usage but there also exists drugs that medicinally provide benefits to people. If tougher laws would reduce their usage of improvements in their life.... Then Absolutely NO.

The law will not change the number of drug users but only make drug users more isolated, alinated and therefore dependable.

Some drugs (not all) are proven to tackle a number of illnesses related to stress, arthritis, panic attacks and more.

Hard drugs such as Cocaine and Heroin shouldn’t be on streets, you’re right. However, a soft drug like weed that makes you a little paranoid and hungry shouldn’t be a crime to consume. If you are driving, I agree, you shouldn’t be high on ANYTHING but you can’t criminalise a drug like weed if alcohol is sold in almost every store you walk into.

we should not put tougher drug laws on because as long as, when your taking it you are under supervision or your doing it and not causing harm to anyone then in my opinion theres nothing wrong with it
