The Case for Legalization of Drugs

• Thesis It is controversial whether or not the
  war on drugs treats users and abusers fairly.
• (Click the CLA comment feature for comments
  offered by the teacher.)
• Key Points
• How alcoholics are treated differently than drug
  addicts, although they are both addicted to a
  substance.
• Cases should be tried proportionally to their
  crime.
• Drug arrests filling prisons and spending tax
  dollars. Cost effective alternatives to prison
  prove useful for the state and the offender.
• Legalization will destroy drug lords and
  minimize gang violence. Legalization means a
  safer community.
