The Nuts

There will always be people trying to make some argument to legalize drugs, and choose to believe that government and general public is just making a big deal for nothing over the issues on drugs. Some people makes arguments like "legalizing drugs will decrease the price for drugs along with amount criminal activities", "legalizing drugs will free up police force, unclog court system and solve prison overcrowding." and "legalizing drugs will cripple drug related criminal organizations". (The Pragmatist, 1988) To me these comments are like utterly pathetic attempt to legalize drugs, so the writer themselves can get access to cheap and legal drugs.
Even if drugs are legalized criminal activities will still be high because drug addicts simply does not have the physical ability to work due to the effect of the drug. Therefore when they actually spent all their earning on drugs, they will still have to steal or rob so they can buy drugs, so the police force will still be busy, the prison will still be crowded and the court system will be still clogged. Criminal activity will be just as bad, or even worse, since more people are doing it now.
