I wondered what peoples opinions were.
the argument in favour is this:government control over use of clean needles,government control over quality of drugs,government control over srength of drugs ,reduction of criminal activity,by 1 . addicts who need to commit criminal activity to fund an expensive habit.
2 .criminals will no longer find it financially viable,as their market is removed.
3 ,freeing of police time, enabling more time to be spent on the attempted solving of other crimes.
4.revenue in taxation,to fund hospitalisation for addicts.
5 .amount of taxation to be considered carefully,so that government drugs were cheaper than black market drugs.
if this was tried along with a government propaganda campaign against[similar to tobacco ]   and over a period of a couple of years found to be unsuccessful,drugs could be made illegal once more.
