The Benefits Of Legalized Drugs

Abstract: 8 pages in length. Of all the hotly debated topics looming over society today, there is one that has divided friends, family and lawmakers alike: the notion of legalizing drugs as a means by which to lower the crime rate and reduce the inherent negativity associated with drugs. To legalize drugs would be to remove the temptation that surrounds the act of drug taking; it would eliminate the need for black markets, robbery, murder and all the other insidious elements connected with illicit drug use. People would be left to their own accord as to how much and when they consumed without the infiltration of law enforcement authorities, enabling the crime rate to drop considerably and finally establishing societies where drugs are not at the root of virtually all criminal activity. The writer discusses the benefits of drug legalization, as well as addresses how well this platform has worked in Amsterdam. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
