Legalize Drugs?

 Hello!

I haven´t a clear opinion of this topic. Of course, drugs are unhealthy but legalizing drugs can be a solution for crime and trafficking. Maybe, if governments legalized drugs, people would consume too much these substances. However, It can be a solution for the drug dealing because governments would have the market control. Some countries allow to consume some kinds of drugs but nowadays this law is checked. In my opinion, it´s really difficult to find a good solution because it´s a really complicated topic.

Thanks for correcting my writing!

The topic of legalizing drugs is very controversial. Many people think that legalizing drugs will reduce the crime associated with the production and distribution of drugs. They also argue that legalizing drugs would allow governments to tax their production and sale, which could fund addiction programs and other government services.

Those who argue against the legalization of drugs believe that it would cause a dramatic increase in the rate of drug addiction, and that it would also result in an increase in crime.

What do you think? Should drugs be legal? Would you only legalize some drugs, or would you legalize all drugs? Why?

It's difficult to find a correct answer to this question. Much as I reflex on this matter, I always bump into further questions I didn't have ever considered before. In my opinion, I think you will find pros and cons if you agree with legalizing drugs as well as you don't. Maybe the controlled distribution of drugs by authorized institutions or dealers, such as pharmacies or medical centers, could diminished the index of crime regarding this matter. On the other hand, authorities could have  a list of drug consumers and, this way, could help them establishing plans to reduce the consum of these substances and rehabilitate them into society again.

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you concerning to the job offer that your company has recently published.

I am awared of the fact that your company is one of the most important, up and coming companies in the country in the area of sales, and I would definitely would like to take part in it.

I consider that I might be a good asset for your organisation, since I have a considerable experience in the area of sales, due to the fact that I have been working for ten years in this area and I have a deep knowledge on how to deal with clients. So far I have been able to cope successfully with customer's requests and complaints. Languages would not either be an issue, as long as I am fluent in five languages. I enjoy working in a team and have a can-do attitude. That, added to my ambition to achieve goals, would be in my opinion very beneficial to your company.

For all these reasons, I would like to put myself forward as a candidate for the position.

Yours, faithfully,

Drugs are mostly ilegal in the most of countries. By the one side, I think they could be legalize to avoid the rising power of drug lords and to get an important ammount of money for the state.

But, in the other side, it could be dangerous to legalize something so harmful for people if it hasn't an exhaustive control by public organisms of the countries.

Nowadays, in Spain, if drugs issue comes to a trending topic, I think it would be ok to legalize it to increase the money and helping the country against the crisis.

Drugs? emm i dont know, this is a very difficult topic, because i think the problem is not the drugs i think the problem are the people who used this kinds of products, legalize or not the people always would try to find it

Es un asunto muy complicado.

En un mundo ideal, no necesitaríamos legalizar las drogas, pero lo que pasa es que las únicas personas que las reglas ayudan son los capos. (drug lords?) Usan las monedas para comprar armas y obtener poder en los barrios, y finalmente son mas poderoso que la policía (y, donde no, pueden comprar la policía! )

Hay otro lado, por supuesto, si alguien tiene un adiciona de una droga como heroin va a destruir su propia vida, además, no puede trabajar para ganar dinero para comprar heroin, entonces necesita robar a otra gente, y así el nivel crimen puede aumentar. Pero hay muchísimas drogas como el cannabis que son menos peligroso y no veo ningún razón para no legalizarlos.

No entiendo los detalles del narcotráfico en lo demás del mundo, pero aquí en los Estados Unidos, el enfoque es en la frontera entre los EE UU y el México.  La violencia allá está creciendo, y los líderes del México y de los Estado Unidos no se cooperan para mejorar la situación.  Creo que la legalización de cannabis solo produciría cambios notables, y tal evento reduciría la demanda de drogas por medios illegales, los cuales causan tanta violencia.

Además, creo que la política en la legalización de drogas se fundamenta en la cultura y la historia de las drogas.  Por ejemplo, hay una historia profunda del tabaco en los Estados Unidos, pero cannabis no tiene tal conexión cultural, aunque no sea tan peligroso (de hecho, lo cultivan Washington y Jefferson el cáñamo, aunque no se sabe si lo utilizaban para esparcimiento o no).  Sin embargo, están cambiando los actitudes hacia el tabaco y el cannabis.  A la vez, el tabaco está perdiendo la popularidad, y el cannabis está más aceptado.  

 i think that everything is prohibited in some way attracts people... i think that we should go into the root of the problem, and this is our society and why people are wishing these kind of substance in their lives, if we change our way of thinking we can change everthing...

on the other hand people less educated in the matter, they could not understand the risk that they are confronting and these would be more sensitive to be  victims of the drug...

Ya sabemos que las drogas son malas para la salud y por eso no tiene sentido por qué no permitimos los adictos a tomar sus drogas. El gobierno puede recoger los impuestos de la gente que toma las drogas y tendríamos más dinero por eso. En mí opinión no hay diferencia de cigarillos y las drogas, entonces creo que debemos permitir los adictos a tomar sus drogas porque es su culpa si se muere más pronto que los otros.
