      The drug market currently is completely unregulated. It‘s easier for a teenager to buy weed, than alcohol. If we make it legal, we can actually regulate it, like alcohol.

          No, missing regulation led to the school shooting situation in the US. Just legalizing won‘t solve any issues, without any proper regulations.

          Consuming drugs is your choice, it only affects your body, life and mind. Sexual assault and drugs can not even be remotely compared.

              Brazil has one of the most strict anti drug laws in the world, isn’t that correct?

              I am from Germany. We‘ll legalize weed soon.

              And yes, drug usage certainly can affect other people, sorry about the confusion. My point was primarily about normal drug usage, not addicts. Criminalizing it certainly doesn‘t seem to help, every single country that tried this completely failed. On the other hand, countries that do the exact opposite seem to be pretty successful.

              Edit: You just seem to ignore facts. It works in other countries. The war on drugs failed.
