Option 1: OPINION ESSAY
Nowadays, many people
consume drugs in spite of knowing the consequences and all the problems that
involving. Everyone knows that the governments often make many addictive
substances illegal because they may harm the health of those who take them. However,
alcohol and tobacco may also be dangerous to a person’s health and they are
legal. So, the question we need to answer is, should the government make these
substances illegal too?
Personally, I believe
that all the drugs should be legal because we could eliminate the criminal
market place since the market for drugs is demand-led and millions of people
demand illegal drugs. In addition, we could massively reduce crime because the
price of illegal drugs is determined by a demand-led, unregulated market. Using
illegal drugs is very expensive. This means that some dependent users resort to
stealing to raise funds and most of the violence associated with illegal drug
dealing is caused by its illegality.
Furthermore, in my opinion we could help provide access
to truthful information and education about drugs because there are many false myths.
Moreover, we could make all drug use safer since inhibition has led to
stigmatization and marginalization of drug users.
All in all, I think drugs should definitely
be legalized since I think it would help end many conflicts that have created
banning them.
