To disapprove the legalisation of recreational drugs

Counter-policy

2023-11-23 11:27:23 UTC

Legalise recreational drugs, but on the condition that the government would limit the amount of drugs consumed per week to e.g. 15g and impose strict laws against excess consumption of recreational drugs

Facts

Drugs are a form of substance that can be found in daily items which tend to be consumed by the masses, such as food bowls which act as energisers. This might have been caused by a form of drug which causes your body to produce adrenaline.

Government should ban drugs such as aspirin (which causes fever, cough and other common cold symptoms) and methamphetamine.

2023-11-23 11:37:30 UTC

Government should carry out a house investigation for every household

Fact

Most drugs contain chemicals that keep you addicted to the drug, so even if people just take a tiny amount of the drug, they can get addicted and cannot stop taking the drug. Drugs can also have harmful side effects on the body, so these two combined would have devastating effects on the body. Hence, drugs should be banned.

Counter policy 2

carolinesyluo — 2023-11-23 11:43:22 UTC

Legalize recreational drugs, but only specific drugs. The government should also hold the monopoly over all drugs, issuing only a limited quantity of drugs for a price. The drugs have to be purchased face-to-face. The price must be at least $250 per gram. The limit is 5 grams a week.

Rebuttal point #1

carolinesyluo — 2023-11-23 11:57:44 UTC

Although smoking can cause lung cancer and death if used for an extended period of time, smoking is still not banned! If recreational drugs were banned, there is probably a very good reason why, and probably results in worser results compared to long-term smoking. Maybe resulting in instant death or mental health probs.

Fact

2023-11-23 12:00:59 UTC

However, I think that recreational drugs should be banned nevertheless. Firstly, the government should impose a life sentence or even a death penalty for offenders who have consumed a large amount of recreational drugs above 25 grams of liquid drugs or more than 5 pills of recreational drugs
