WHY DRUGS ARE ILLEGAL [EXPLAINED]

in #life7 years ago (edited)

This is to add to the debate of why there is such a thing as illegal substances.

The reason recreational drugs are illegal is because they are dangerous to us right?

These substances will induce a high followed by a come down. Some people enjoy
taking these substances for the emotional experience.

Authorities have stepped in and made rules for certain substances. In the
minds of the masses this is only for protection. I believe there is more to it.

When a population of people are taking illicit drugs they will begin to wear out and
perhaps act erratically. This is a potential danger to the everyday non user and also an
unpleasant experience, so in this sense it is good the authorities have stepped in.

If one ponders the finance behind recreational drugs there is a key factor that
seems to have gone unnoticed.

The high amount of risk involved in producing and trafficking these substances
drives the prices up. To get your hands on the basic components of meth or ecstasy
a high amount of risk is involved so the price for these chemicals is higher than if they
were readily available to everyone.

This means there is more money to be made in the selling and producing
of these products because they are illegal. This is the point of this article.

There is more money to be made in the selling and producing of
these substances because they are illegal/controlled.

There is more money to be made in the selling and producing of
these substances because they are illegal/controlled.

Need I say any more?

Sort:  

Screw being legal or illegal it's about how the hell can you sleep at night while knowing you destroyed this family or that family or that person got killed because of your product. in my opinion government should even band a lot of prescription drugs too did you know that once a upon a time Britain attacked china by drugs ? We are too dumb to control ourselves

The government banning substances does not make them unavailable, it makes them more expensive. They are banned so the profit for the big producers is higher than it would be if they were not banned.
