Once upon a time the use of drugs was socially acceptable in the UK , EU and USA . It amuses me sometimes that people in the 'west' look at other countries in the world and sneer at them for banning alcohol like there is something wrong with them . Alcohol can be just as dangerous and addictive as some drugs but still alcohol is readily available. (I'm not complaining I'm quite happy it is I'm just commenting on the hypocrisy) Originally drugs were not banned for the obvious reasons and those reasons namely that they would not be ordinarily legalised today .It as much support from former slave owners who were concerned about the productivity of their workers than it did for any health implications at the time of its prohibition in the US.
Today drug use is synonymous with crime , be it those supplying or in allot of cases those taking it . Banning or legalising drugs will not get rid of the related problems that it causes .Society itself needs to solve those problems- undoubtedly the world be a better place without any stimulant that causes people to commit serious or other crime .
