Could legalising drugs actually help addicts kick their addiction? Firstly it would save an enormous amount of money. The police force would not be wasting time or money pursuing drug dealers, in this country (UK) or others, if drugs were sold over the counter. Also money and space would be freed up in our prison system. In addition to this, the government could line their pockets through tax, in an identical way to alcohol and tobacco products. Then this money could be poured into rehabilitation schemes that would give people an incentive to give up, rather than being punished for their problem. Taking away the taboo factor away from drugs could be the first step in winning the battle. What do you think?
So does Islam actually promote and encourage acts of terrorism, most recently the savage attack in woolwich, or is it the work of extremists deliberately misinterpreting what the Koran teaches? If so are there innocent muslims being made a scapegoat or is it just a flawed religion?
