If it were legaiised then the Government could charge VAT. A portion of that could be earmarked for mental health care. |

No. and I don't believe it would put drug dealers out of business, they would just diversify into other drugs, when you are talking money there is always going to be a 'different, better, high' to offer. |

But how would legalising, say, heroin reduce crime rates? |

If you legalise the drugs, you won't reduce drug taking; so you won't reduce the crime rate. |

Because illegal drugs and crime rates run hand in hand |

Why would crime reduce? Abusers would still need to pay for it. |

All that the term "controlled substance" means is it is regulated by the government. |

I don't know why people call these drugs "controlled substances". :-S Drug addicts are not exactly in control, are they? :-S |

seriously, no, and definitely not cannabis - having worked in psychiatry for thirty years I have seen the results of cannabis taking - not nice - people seem to think it's harmless - it ain't |

Considering the fact that most druggies fund their habbits by commiting burglaries or theft; should we legal buglary and theft too? Or perhaps drug addicts should get extra state benefits to pay for their drugs. :-| |
