  Crime and Drug Legalization
Proponents of legalization advance two theories as to how legalization will decrease crime in the United States, and both are dependent on the assumption that legalization will reduce the cost of drugs to the user.
Because drugs will no longer be a profitable business, and because addicts will be able to obtain their drugs from legal sources, the current fl market suppliers of drugs - gangs, foreign cartels, organized criminals, etc.-will fade away.
If drugs were legalized, addicts would no longer have to commit crimes to pay for their habit.

 Drug Policy Alliance: Drug Testing
Drug testing is also a near universal feature of the criminal justice system in the United States, with most probationers and parolees required to undergo drug testing regardless of the nature of their underlying offense or history of drug use.
This proliferation has occurred despite the paucity of evidence that widespread suspicionless drug testing results in safer workplaces and schools, reduces substance abuse problems, combats crime, or is more effective at achieving these various goals than less costly-and less intrusive-alternatives (e.g., performance testing for workers, honest drug education and extracurricular activities for high school students, etc.).
Drug Policy Alliance, together with the ACLU Drug Policy Litigation Project, and the National Advocates for Pregnant Women is involved in a variety of legal challenges to expansive drug testing policies and unreliable drug testing technologies.

 Drug control through Legalisation
Legalisation will serve public health in a much better way, and it makes it easier for the police and the public prosecutions department to fight the remaining drug trade, which will mainly be export.
Legalisation will have an impact on the contents and the size of drug treatment and social services, which will be discussed in appendix D. We recommend that simultaneously with legalisation a drug education and prevention programme be started, aimed at reducing excessive drug use.
Legalisation of drugs combined with a powerful campaign against the excessive use of drugs and other intoxicants is the pre-eminent way to curb the drug problem and keep it low.

 Drug Legalization? Drugs Should Not Be Legalized - Just Say No to Drug Legalization
I am more concerned with drug dealers who sell the drugs than the person who buys them, and I am more concerned about people who are under the influence of drugs such as PCP than those who are smoking pot in the privacy of their own home.
Legal drugs will be regulated by the government, just as alcohol is, and thus, this government controlled item will have lots of OUR TAX dollars poured into it.
Legalization proponents ignore the fact that the people committing violent crimes are career criminals who will not stop their illegal activities once drugs are legalized; they will instead seek new sources of illicit revenue.

 Drug Policy Alliance: Office of Legal Affairs: Drug Testing
Suspicionless drug testing is increasingly used in the workplace and in schools throughout the country.
Drug testing is an intrusive invasion of individual privacy, an ineffective determinant of an individual’s drug use, and can be a deterrent to open, honest communication and for students, participation in extracurricular activities or athletics.

Legal Drug is not what I would call flat-out yaoi-- Kakei and Saiga are definitely not "straight"--but there is much speculation as to whether or not Kazahaya and Rikuo are enemies(well...they do hate each other), friends(probably not), or lovers *gags phenominally*, all the while hinting at their relatively more mysterious and complicated pasts.

 Club Drug Lawyers, Legal Information, Attorney Finder
MDMA (ecstasy), Rohypnol, GHB, and ketamine are among the drugs used by teens and young adults who are part of a nightclub, bar, rave, or trance scene.
While club drugs have only recently captured the attention of law enforcement agencies across America, many states have been creating a framework for penalizing persons found to be in violation of state law relative to sale and/or possession of GHB, ketamine, ecstasy, and Rohypnol.
Club drug laws are a relatively recent invention, so there is a high likelihood that most people are not familiar with their jurisdiction’s penalties and attitudes toward club drug prosecution.

 Legal Drug Pushers (July 1, 1998)
Called "me-too" drugs, these are easier and cheaper for companies to develop, because much of the basic research on how the drug should work in the human body has already been done--it's just a matter of finding a new, slightly different compound in the same class as the old drug.
The motive behind the "me-too" phenomenon is simple: as a drug that's been on the market for a number of years gets close the expiration of its patent, the company that owns the drug starts to panic.
In 1996, drug companies spent $600 million on direct advertising to consumers, which is twice as much as they spent in 1995 and almost ten times more than was spent in 1991.

The strongest legal argument for federal intervention is the Controlled Substances Act, the primary federal law governing the distribution of drugs.

Second, that it would continue to be enforced in states that did not legalize assisted suicide and would be enforced against doctors who assisted suicides in Oregon in contravention of the law's limitations.

For the company to patent and market it, the new drug needs to be different, and if it is stronger and has different side-effects (hopefully fewer and less severe, but not always), so much the better.
In 1996, drug companies spent $600 million on direct advertising to consumers, which is twice what they spent in 1995 and almost ten times more than in 1991.

It is technically illegal to buy prescription drugs online because these drugs have not been approved by the FDA.
However, it is very rare that someone would be prosecuted for buying prescription drugs that are only for personal use and for which a valid prescription exists.

 FDA Street Drug Alternatives, Legal Highs, F.D.A.
Washington -- The Food and Drug Administration has sent warning letters to eight companies that sell herbal products, threatening to seize the products because the companies are marketing them as legal alternatives to illegal street drugs.
The group also argues that the FDA action violates free speech because the agency is attempting to prohibit herb sellers from telling the public that a given herb may produce euphoric effects, or have effects similar to those produced by an illegal drug.
But, this action shows that the “war on drugs” has very little to do with health or public safety, and lots to do with enforcing a government mandated mode of consciousness.
