Opinion Essay - Inés Galmán


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.
