All victimless "crimes" shouldn't be considered crimes. Like drug use. Or unpaid parking tickets.

Also, legal drugs means actual STUDIES. When politics doesn't interfere, that can mean actual SCIENCE.

Drug use is not a victimless crime though. How many Mexican cartel members were skinned alive so you could have your coke at the weekend? Or how many young men got beaten to a pulp because some coked up junkie thought he was staring at them? How many kids are neglected because mom is slumped over with a syringe in her arm every day? Even if drugs were legal, the problems they cause won't go away

SOME of them would go away: jail time for possession for example. Also, them becoming legal might mean less people skinned alive. Moreover, as I wrote, SCIENCE and RESEARCH might help people understand how this harms them, specifically, and perhaps develop some countermeasures, such as for example, MDMA causes brain damage UNLESS it is paired with Alpha-Lipoic-Acid and 5-htp. In that case, the likelihood and severity of damage is statistically insignificant. We know this because MDMA was legal relatively recently, used in psychotherapy, and thus research was performed.

You do know its just the SALE of drugs thats illegal? They can still be produced and still have research carried out on them, even on humans.

Depends where... For many substances, possession is jail time.
