I don't think it's a good idea to sell drugs illegally, because there are many cunning merchant to deceive consumers. But when a person or an animal injured, and go to the hospital too late, illegal sale of drugs is helpful.
Elizabeth
I don't think it's right to sell illegal drugs on the street, or anywhere. Drugs like over the counter drugs would be an exception.

I think that drugs should not be illeagl. They shud be just givein to thos people who need it. But If drugs where leagl then GUESS WHAT there would not be crim on the strees for them.
Bradi
I think that the only time that any one should ever be able to sell drugs is if it is a doctor giveing it to someone how is depresd
Tyler
I think selling drugs is a terrible and realistic problem.
The only timei think it is acceptable to sell drugs is if it is a pain killer and someone is in absolute unbareable pain
Limit
Bradi. Then that is not selling is it.
Arianna
I dont think its okay.
Because if you sell them ato someone and that person dies from it you are resposible for thier death.
Elizabeth to Tyler
I agree , but what if someone fakes an injury or something and gets pain killers and overdoses?.
What kind of drugs are you talking about Limit?
Meagan,
Selling drugs without a doctors perscription should not be allowed, It is never a good thing and can only lead to trouble. I can not think of a time where it would be beneficial to ever sell drugs illegally.
Good point to Tyler Elizabeth.
Limit
Tyler. I am in pain y dont i get one just kidding but that is what alot of people would do inorder to get what they want.
Bradi
limit that is a very good point but if drugs were legal than every one would be so baked that they would not ever think strate and some people might even die.
Nichole,
I don't think it is ever a good idea to sell drugs illegally. If you were suppose to have some type of drug then the doctor will/should proscribe it to you. Selling drugs on the street can get you put in jail, i don't think it would be worth going to jail for
Justice Rowe,
No i think is it very bad to sale drugs for all resone even if they could possible save lifes there is a thing call a pharmacy and thats the only place where i think drugs should be obtained from.
Limit
Matysak. What ever drug there is there all the same.
There is an acception to that..marijuana actually has many good things. So selling that would be my only acception because it takes your mind off of pain, like as in the cancer patients often have it. Plus it doesn't harm you, it actually does good.
Elizabeth to Justice
What if the person needing the drug was severly hurt and couldnt go to the phamacy and was about to die.?

I dont think it of ever a good time to illegally sell drugs. Legal drugs can help people but it is your doctors destion if you get them or not. If you take a drug that is not perscribed to you it could really mess you up and possibly get you killed.
Colton
I don't think drugs should be illeagl because there are more deaths by people smoking ciggaretts and drinking alcohal. The drug usage of the United States is very slim. And drugs can help people, like they leaglized maijuana to help some cancers. So i do no think that drugs should be illeagl if you use them for the right perposes. But if u use them just so you feel good or just go up to someone and say your high then no, only if it helps you not for fun. THANK YOU
chelsea,
i agree with you limit!
so how does one determine one needs a certain drug? Are you saying that drug dealers should be asking for prescriptions. There's difference between what you can purchase at Walgreens and what you can purchase from a drug dealer, right?
Limit
Bradi. People would do as they wanted and still get there jobs done.
CHAMBERS,
Drugs are the problem with to days society. Some people think that it is okay to sell drugs because of the money. it is not okay because it could harm people.the only time it should be relavent is when you need money or you are going to jail.
Sean-John to Elizabeth
Hey this is refuring to what you said to justice.
Then they should go to the doctor
Chance's is the one at 11:24 am without the name.

Well i guess it depends on which kind of drugs,to be specific, i think heroin and cocaine are pretty bad drugs, but I believe less people would die if it was legal, Portugal has legalized all drugs pretty much, if your caught, a police officer is obligated to suggest optional rehab, which a fe people take, they took the money that they would spend to house an inmate or hunt a drug lord, and used it for free rehab for citizens of portugal.
Elizabeth to Sean- John
Like i said they are on the spot dying and you had something to help them?.
There is an acception to that..marijuana actually has many good things. So selling that would be my only acception because it takes your mind off of pain, like as in the cancer patients often have it. Plus it doesn't harm you, it actually does good.

tyler
I think its only acceptable that if you were going to sell drugs it would be to someone you personally know for pain purposes
Anthony
No I do not think it is a good idea to sell drugs illegally. I can not thnik of a time when it would be beneficial because know drugs are good for you.
Limit
Matysak. OOOOOO i get what you are saying and if some one is in pain they can go get sothing from the stor or go to a drug dealer and get somthing that will tack it all away.
To Elizabeth from Justice,
Well just because someone is hurt and needs medical help right then and there still does not make the drug right it is still illegal and like most civilized people you go to the hospital or call for help
Nichole to "chambers",
So your trying to say that if somebody needed money it would be okay to sell drugs on the street?! Plus along with your other example if you are already going to jail wouldn't getting caught with even more drugs just put you in a deeper hole?!
Jake Ryan
drugs sold illegally can indeed cause harm and lead to death but so can leagal drugs. I'm not going to say taht selling illegal drugs is ok but they do have there own medical uses.
Sean-John to Elizabeth
Thats not the same as selling drugs illegally. And have you ever had this happy?
Limit
Ya Jake
Limit, I'm saying that all drugs are NOT the same!! shouldn't somebody be determining medically if you need to take them?
Brandon
i agree with colton, some legal drugs like alcohol and cigarettes are more harmful than a few illegal drugs like marijuana
chelsea to mrs.m,
most drugs are good for pain and stuff! and some people can't afford some stuff so they get um from dealers!
Elizabeth To Justice
Ok, the drug is just a over the counter drug, ambulance is not there. Person is laying on the ground taking their last breath?.
scott
If drugs can save someones life they sould get the drugs with no questions asked. Drugs can do harm to people, but if drugs can heal and save lives its really important to use it
Meagan good point! It never can lead to a good thing.-Anthony
Chance - you added good information to the discussion!
austin
Selling drugs on the street is never a good idea because it is wrong and illegal not only that but you could be selling them to a person that doesn't ever know how to use them and it could kills them if not used properly. Them you just killed somebody and have that guilty conscience on you. nd no i can not think of a way that it would be alright to buy sell or recieve drugs of the street you should just go to the phamisist after your Doctor has proscribed the the drug you need.
I think this discussion would have been much clearer if you had defined the term DRUGS
Limit
Matysak. Yes they shud but most of the dockers around here will not give it to the right people so the people who dont want it just to have it to sell are geting it whiole the people who need it cant get6 it because the dockers think thast they are lieing .
Colton
Oh ya my thing was just basically only about Marijuanna just to let you people know.
Well if they are at there last breath you are not going to save them with an over the counter drug.
From Justice to Elizabeth
ha ha ha
Chance at Mrs. Matysak
Thankyou :)
Chance at Jake Ryan
Your comment is very good and I support it, it is also accurate too!
ELizabeth to Justice
You never know,....
Tom
No matter how much you try to enforce it, marijuana will always be used. The illigelaization of it hasnt stopped anyone who wanted to for as long as the law existed, our government invests are tax money trying to prevent the spread of something that just cant be

Yes if someone has a medical reason.

Tyler I agree with you.
