Drugs Should Be Banned From U.S.A. It Is Morally Wrong It Is The Wrong Path It Messes Your Life
I think all drugs should be like cigars, cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine, weed, heroin, crank, hashish, downers, LSD, etc. There’s a video on youtube.com u should check it out link: Http://youtube.com/watch?v=HuTZZmfEIMk Teens who do it choose a very bad road. It messes up their life. In one cigarette there in over 4,000 chemicals and over 200 very deadly ones, and 51 of them is carcinogen which causes cancer. If you go to the website thetruth.com it can tell you a lot of bad stuff of drugs and why not to do it.

I agree with the opinions, but not always.

Pot is a pain reliever used with terminal cancer patients with success.

Alcohol is useful when not used with any kind of frequency = twice a year, and if one is not driving while under the influence of alcohol.
Twice a year, drinking a shot-glass of Jack Daniels with a meal is not that bad.
Every day? Yes. I would agree with that.

Nearly anything is bad if used in excess or with any sort of frequency to it.
Even food!

Gluttony kills more people more frequently than anything else!
A slow, torturous death: Heart-disease/high-blood-pressure.

Money can buy what you want. How someone without a made live can obtain drugs is not good morales.

It's easy to talk about freedom and choice... Until a drunk driver kills your wife and child.

RESPONSE TO COMMENT:

Seriously? Your argument is that the "gain" of being drunk is more valuable than the lives of human beings? The preservation of human life from drunk drivers (or any person made dangerous or violent by alcohol) is not a "little gain." You believe your freedom to get wasted is more important than your own family's freedom to survive?

Between 13,000 and 17,000 Americans are killed every year by drunk drivers. Saving those lives has no objective value to you?

According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, alcohol misuse cost America $220 billion in 2005, more than the cost of cancer ($196 billion) and the tab for obesity ($133 billion).

What exactly is the "gain" of getting drunk or high? To the individual? To society?

 Subjective grief should top objective gain? I agree that personally being impacted by an issue makes you feel strongly about it, but it also makes you biased.

Besides, would you really ban alcohol because of drunk drivers? Seriously, the loss of freedom would be huge for little gain which could be accrued simply by cracking down on irresponsible drivers.

What drugs, you mean like aspirin and tums and penicillan and coffee and tea and vitamins and all the other drugs that keep you alive and keep you functioning on a day to day basis?

It would be great if Drugs and what not could be banned from America, and all would follow suit. But this would not be the case. People would sneak the drugs in, and it would be hell in a hand basket.
Currently, hundreds of people are sent to jail or prison for using these harmful methods.
I believe we should allow the idiots to go about there way-and save millions of dollars for the U.S. Gov.
Also, certain drugs are used in medicine and many people would die without them.
Many counties allow their citizens to kill themselves with drugs, and they (the gov.) are much better off for it.
The Gov. Allows people to do many other harmful things, and banning drugs would be ridiculous.
Alcohol causes more of a harmful effect than drugs; it hurts other people.
So, no. Drugs should not be banned.

Technically, I will never do drugs... Ever, but some drugs are used for medicinal purposes. The effect of the drug depends on how it is being used. Smoking tobacco is wrong, and shortens lives and takes loved ones. That is an example of a bad drug. A good drug is only used for medicinal purposes only. Overdose your medicinal drug, and the effects may be deadly. So, it really depends. They may be used for medicinal purposes... Or used for bad purposes... So yeah, it really depends.

Illegal drugs: Are banned. Legal drugs: Hey, they're legal, maybe some should be reconsidered and banned, but you can't ban ALL DRUGS.

Do I have to list the medical necessities?: Heart medicines, anti-cancer drugs, thyroid replacements, and on and on.

Where do you draw the line? What about skin creams, natural remedies, laxatives, antacids?

Did you know some of the people with wheat and dairy digestion issues don't have a true "allergy" but instead are only partly digesting it and the leftover is having sort of a drug-like effect on their system. So anyone care to ban wheat and dairy products?

Ummmmmmmmmmm in case you weren't aware of this most illegal drugs are banned from the USA its just smuggled in through MEXICO and other places. We are about freedom of choice rather it kills us or not. I don't do drugs, I don't smoke I don't drink but I am not out trying to force people to do it either. My opinion is mine yours is yours

All drugs? So if we ban tobacco do we presumably ban alcohol. After all alcohol is far more destructive in pretty much every measure than tobacco. How about caffeine?

It is indeed about freedom, the freedom to make mistakes. The freedom to harm oneself. Whilst there must be limits, and some drugs are banned because of the harm they do to society, we must have a balance between societal gain and personal freedom. A blanket ban on all drugs which harm is a terrible balance between those two aims.
