Is Drug prohibition or the so called War on Drugs Working? Is it Good or Bad for Society?

No it isn't working, or at least it isn't working well! And I actually think that banning drugs is worse for society as it means drugs are being mixed with all sorts of stuff to make the weight heavier! Whereas if they were legal, only the purest of the pure would be sold! It would also help the economy with the tax that would be charged on the drugs! Also similarly to when alcohol was banned in the 1920s in the USA crime rates are extremely high because of this ban on drugs, and various gang wars are forming and this all revolves around drugs and if they were legal, there would be no need for some of the gangs In the world and crime rate would fall...also surveys suggest that the reason a lot of teenagers take drugs is because they like the thrill from doing something illegal and they are probably less likely to take drugs if they are legal! Sorry about the long answer....
