 What are drugs?

They are any substance (other than food) used to prevent,

diagnose, treat, or relieve disease or abnormal condition
symptoms. Drugs can also affect how the brain and the
rest of the body work, causing changes in mood,
awareness, thoughts, feelings, or behavior. Some types of
drugs, such as opioids, can be abused or addicted.

 Why drugs should be legalized?

With the legalization of drugs this would put an end to the exaggeratedly lucrative
part of the drug trafficking business, bringing to the surface the existing black
market and with the disappearance of the underground drug trade dramatically
decreases the problem that arose from drug trafficking.
in a survey conducted in mexico, more than half (58%) said they agreed with
legalization, and more than (63%) thought that if some drugs were legalized, this
would lead to a decrease in crime because the market and price would be controlled, as
in the case of alcohol.
the disadvantages of its legalization. regardless of the effect it would have on drug
trafficking, its legalization would not affect positively, it would drastically increase
cases of drug addiction, family disintegration, school failure, among others.

 Legalization would put an end to the lucrative part of the drug trade, by bringing to
the surface the existing black market. And with the disappearance of clandestine drug
trafficking, the social problems linked to said activity dramatically decrease. The
current prohibition of drugs does not stop the market, it has simply submerged it
under the cloak of illegality, and when a business is a crime, the criminals will take
part in it, it would also end an important focus of corruption, which increases in all
levels of government due to the fact that a substantial number of police officers,
customs officials, judges and all kinds of authorities have been bought, bribed or
extorted by drug traffickers, creating a great atmosphere of distrust on the part of
the population towards the public sector in general

Legalization of drugs is an
option in the fight against
drug trafficking, the act of
legalizing addictive drugs
that are currently
prohibited would
inevitably produce an
increase in their
consumption and,
therefore, an increase in
the number of users and
drug addicts.
In my opinion they should
not legalize all of them but
only some that are addictive
to a lesser extent, this would
reduce although not
drastically if something
remarkable the situation of
drug trafficking. to prevent
society from falling into drug
addiction should be instilled
enough in that drugs are bad
and addictive. at home and at
school since childhood. make
it very clear
Reasons to legalize drugs:
-It allows to know drugs
that are consumed, and their
quality, in such a way that
adulterations are avoided.
-It ends drug trafficking,
since it suppresses the flow
of money and the power of
the mafia groups that have it
today.
-The corruption that exists
today is limited or avoided.
Drugs should not be
legalized in their entirety,
because although it is true
that in this way drugs will
be used recreationally,
people will be free to
access them and thus open
hundreds of miles of
addicts. I agree with the
legalization of drugs for
medicinal use, but not for
recreational use.
