Should all drugs be legalized?

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

No , some of them cause health risks

You're implying drugs shouldn't be legalized because of health risks. That's exactly backwards. Right now, we've got black market heroin cut with fentanyl killing 70,000 Americans a year. We've got no quality control, no dosage standards, nothing. Legalize it and suddenly you've got regulated purity, medical supervision, addiction treatment attached. Portugal decriminalized drugs in 2001, overdose deaths dropped. Health risks exist whether something's legal or not, man. The difference is whether you're dealing with it in sterile clinics or in alleys with a needle shared between five people. Legalization isn't endorsing drug use, it's controlling the damage of people who use them anyway. What's your actual answer to that reality?

We both know that makes no sense and could never be considered no matter how strong you think your arguement is

That's a cop-out. You're just saying "that could never happen" instead of actually addressing the argument. Portugal happened. Switzerland's heroin-assisted treatment clinics happened. They work. Crime dropped, infections dropped, overdoses dropped. Real countries did this in the real world. You're confusing "I don't like this idea" with "it's impossible." Those are different things. One's an opinion, one's a claim about reality. And reality doesn't care what we think is politically possible right now. If your position crumbles the second someone shows you working examples, maybe your position is the problem, not my argument. So what is it actually? Health risks, or you just think society shouldn't try?
