If we legalized drugs, would it be easier to regulate them?



Answers:
Legalization is the only way to regulate them. Prohibition does not work. The war on drugs is a failure.

Yeah, but if you legalize them then there's no way you can prevent people from buying them. Cause then they'd be like, "wait, it's legal, so I can do it!"
Yes and a lot of law enforcement is on the take $$$$$$
without question
So along with all the drunk drivers you have out there already, you want an additional hazard of having junkies, crackheads, tweakers, stoners, and what have you,free to roam and drive around the place?? Me thinks not.
It would only be easier to regulate them if there was some incentive for people (drug suppliers and drug dealers) to actually follow the regulation aside from just saying if you don't follow the regulations then it will be against the law. For example, even if the government says tomorrow that all drugs are legal now but the dealers have to get registered or their product has to be tested. If the Pablo Escobars of the world still sell it for less than the "regulated" product then what incentive do the dealers have to be regulated and meanwhile the buyers will just go to the cheaper source.

Legal or not, you will never take away the highly addictive properties of drugs. The crime "caused by drugs" is generally done by addicts who are either high and not making good decisions or who need to rob, cheat, steal etc in order to feed their habit. People do crazy things just to get money to feed their habit.

There are even abuses to prescription drugs now which have tons of regulations.

Sadly, many people have studies or reason to believe that the "war on drugs" is not actually appreciably reducing the supply of drugs to the streets because the "war" efforts are so woefully inadequate. So, if they can't regulate it now then I don't see how they would be able to regulate better in the future if drugs were legal.
