Yes, you have to stop and look at the alternative. At the moment its illegal and easy to get hold of. What if you could buy it at a high street store, combine that with the black market wouldnt that make it easier to get hold of and more socially excepted?

I often hear the argument. Things like "but it would be liceneced" or "it woulkd be controlled" No it wouldnt. You would still have the same amount of drug sealers selling it. Plus legal places. Plus on top of all that it would would have no social stigma or recourse. All you would end up with is more drugs available to more people earlier.

The very fact that you legalise it, by its very nature, could never meen you could have less of it. By its very nature it meens you can only have more of it
