Poland liberalizes drug laws in effort to focus on treatment [35]
rozumiemnic:
ahhh but that's just it..."drugs" are available whether they are legal or not..don't you get that?
Yes, but if youth realize getting involved in illegal drugs can land them in jail when older, they are more likely to leave them alone. Of course, it isn't fool proof, but it could be much worse if they were legal.
But they are available at the moment and the current laws aren't working, if they steal to fund their habit or cause physical harm to another person then, by all means go after them with the full force of the law and drag them before a court charged with theft, robbery etc, the drugs aren't the problem, its the person,
But if they are minding their own business, not harming anyone like the Millions of poles who do regularly use or take drugs and manage to hold down jobs, study, live good family lives and play an active part in their communities i can see absolutely no benefit to society in general by dragging a very small amount of these people through the courts, I often wonder if the authorities actually have any idea as to the sheer scale of usage nowadays.?
People will always use drugs regardless of the legal status, and have done since the day we climbed down from the trees or god created adam and eve, before someone came up with the idea of a legal system.
Some people will die because of drugs, some will end up homeless, some will go on to have very successful careers and lives and very happy families, but ALL of them will ultimately end up in a whole in the ground next to those who didn't use drugs.
