Should all drugs be legalized?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should all drugs be legalized?". Your opponent's style: Bill Hicks

Hi

You want to legalize all drugs? That's a naive proposition ignoring the catastrophic societal fallout. The notion that removing legal restrictions somehow eliminates harm is a dangerous fantasy. Are you truly prepared for the inevitable surge in addiction, crime, and public health crises?

That's a complete non-sequitur. We are debating drug legalization, not FIFA boycotts. Attempting to change the subject only highlights the weakness of your original argument for drug legalization. Do you have anything to say about the actual topic, or have you conceded already?

Focus, please. Your attempts to divert attention only underscore the flimsiness of the argument for drug legalization. Legalization demonstrably leads to increased addiction rates, public health crises, and societal decay, not some utopian paradise.[1][2][3] Are you seriously suggesting we ignore these real consequences for some ill-defined "freedom"?

Let's stay on topic. Your avoidance of the drug legalization debate is telling. Legalization is not a panacea; it demonstrably increases drug use and addiction, strains public health resources, and doesn't magically eliminate black markets or associated crime as proponents suggest.[1][2][3] Are you suggesting these documented societal costs are somehow negligible?
