All the laws and current regulations haven't stopped them. You think add adding more would help, ehh?

All the laws and current regulations have created them. Prohibition created them. I think doing away with those laws and treating drugs like every other product would get rid of them. Walgreens and CVS can sell drugs across the street from one another without their employees shooting it out right?
When was the last time a drug you bought at Walmart was cut with baby laxative?
So...if we legalize street drugs, the criminals will start wearing smocks and stop shooting at each other...?
So if we legalize street drugs, Walmart and Amazon will put the Crips, the cartels and the terrorists out of business. If teenagers want to sell drugs they will need to get a job at Walgreens or CVS.
It's an important distinction, but we need to decriminalize, not legalize. Fuck legalization. It is a control and theft (tax) mechanism.
Control and tax are what is missing in the narcotics market now. Mostly people die because those things are lacking. Either by being killed by a gang member or by being killed by an impure, inconsistent, unlabeled product. Something in a baggie of unknown purity or consistency and you don't even know what it is cannot be safely injected. You get that right?
You just defined damn near everything Big Pharma gets passed through the FDA...you do realize that right?
No, go ahead and explain it to me in detail.
As @justusagenstum already pointed out, have you heard of the FDA? They have plenty of control, yet they regularly make terrible decisions when it comes to people's health. It is a racket for corporatism and profit regardless of the damage done to an individual's health.
The government taxes and controls tobacco and alcohol and countless other substances that kill untold amounts of people each year. Go look up prescription drug deaths as another example. Doctors prescribing FDA approved pain killers kill thousands of people a year.
Hows all their control working out?
The FDA does not regulate schedule one drugs, those drugs are prohibited from being regulated. The government taxes and controls tobacco and alcohol and countless other substances that kill smaller and smaller amounts of people each year. Why would you oppose my idea to legalize the natural drugs that are safer and preferable to your "big pharma" synthetics?
Its working pretty great, when was the last time a tablet you bought from a store was cut with baby laxative or an unknown amount of Chinese fentanyl?
So without the government when someone sells you or someone in your family poison, what is your recourse?
Also, if someone laces a product they sell with poison, some other harmful substance, or sells horse tranquilizers instead of heroin, they should be held criminally liable. The consensual transaction by itself or using the substance you wanted to buy isn't a crime however.
Criminally liable by the government for breaking those regulations?
