Should drugs be legalised?


We went to the Ministry of Sound to find out whether you believe drugs should be legalised.

Lisha, 16

Lisha, 16 Drugs shouldn't be legalised at the moment. The Government is currently trying to deal with smoking and alcohol. Legalising drugs will cause more problems than it solves.

Dan, 16

Dan, 16 I don't think drugs should be made legal. They can be extremely damaging to your health and legalising them wouldn't work.

Adam, 16

Adam, 16 If drugs were made legal people would start thinking that it's acceptable to use them. If anything we should look at reclassifying the more dangerous drugs

Tendai, 18

Tendai, 18 Legalising drugs would be a good idea. I think it would probably lower the crime rate, although it wouldn't solve everything.

Jermaine, 20

Jermaine, 20 Not all drugs should be legalised because there are some drugs that are more harmful than others. Legalising lower class drugs like cannabis might work, but I don't think the more dangerous drugs should be.

Joe, 17

Joe, 17 If drugs were made legal I think that crime would increase too much for the police to handle. It could lead to a slippery slope and eventually other dangerous activities being legalised.  

Resina, 17

Resina, 17 I'm in two minds about legalising certain drugs. I think cannabis could be legalised but on the flip side it might lead to people taking harder drugs.
