Drug legalization won’t create drugs

There are two types of drug dealers – those who sell drugs and those who rob salesmen.

From a consumer standpoint, think about a car. You can buy a car from anywhere, but you take the time to use widely available research tools online to educate yourself on the vehicle (using a VIN, make, and model), seller, and even the marketplace (Ebay, autotrader, craigslist).

With so many options so widely available to purchase a car, you as a consumer are able to perform due diligence in choosing which car you purchase and from whom. There are also laws in place to protect you from being ripped off, confirm title transfer history, etc.

Advocates of drug legalization aren’t pushing for a world where everyone is high and acting like we’re all stuck in a nonstop rave

What drug decriminalization advocates want is for information to be widely available to people won’t accidentally mix the wrong cocktails or devolve into criminal behavior simply to obtain drugs.

Drugs are widely available, and legalization isn’t going to create an immaculate conception situation where they suddenly appear out of nowhere. Thousands of people work in the drug industry, and research is hindered by drug scheduling and overly harsh penalties.
