I think that the money involved with these drugs is what brings on the violence, not the drugs themselves. So, if they were legalized, the supply would far outstrip the demand, thereby taking the big money out of the drug trade. With the lower amount of money to be made from drugs the violence would come to an abrupt end. What do you think?
-
Yes,yes and yes.

What about those people become violent because they take the drugs?

hell no you cant just do that you asshole it cant just stop cause you do that

You could definitely make that argument. Alcohol is a drug, and yet it is legal. In fact, I suspect many more people die from incidents related to alcohol consumption than from incidents related to marijuana consumption. Legalize it, regulate it, tax it. The criminal element is automatically eliminated as well, which would reduce expenses on law enforcement. I'm not sure if I totally agree with it, but it certainly is something worth discussing.

As Purple says, legalizing these drugs would strip the enormous profits out of the illegal drug trade and would stop the violence overnight. Illegal drugs are simply Big Business. Those who profit most from their illegal distribution have the biggest interest in keeping these drugs illegal. Follow the money.

The government makes too much money off keeping them illegal.
