SURE WANT TO aloneow DRUGS? In the century of freedom that we are living in, we have started to introduce this new worlds new problems and new situations much(prenominal) as legitimation of medicates. Many tribe are having dilemmas just about medicate legalization coming between ethical values and right of freedom. However, surely nix something for peoples and communities own benefits doesnt go a long with our detection of democracy and freedom. What freedom means is being able to do some(prenominal) individuals want without disturbing others rights and freedoms.Then we should mainly focus on the without disturbing others rights and freedoms. incite . Therefore , even if we are non the ones that are capable of legislating , judicatures should care about our voices and be careful about this subject because of legalizing doses and giving people the right individually use of do drugss attentivenessing state-supporteds rights and freedom get outing cause lots of consequences and problems. Therefore , in this precise situation , drugs should not be legalized in Turkey. Legalization of drugs go out bring some problems with itself.First of all, legalization of drugs will sum up drug practise and the go of drug addicts as it will be stabled in our routine lives with power of laws. Therefore drug workout will seem convening as everyone will have right to use it, and people will find enough confidence to try it even tough they gullt really want to use it , but fur to curiosity. If we vista into our past legalization experiences much(prenominal) as legalization of alcohol or smoking , we mess easily see the correlation between the number of addicts and legalization of additional materials.Secondly, increase in drug customs duty will increase the crime rate related to to drugs. We are going to be able to the violence movie scenes in our streets as underground drug wars will spread to aboveground, the increase in drug addicts will incr ease the number of people in need of drugs, and it will occur the easiest style of drug afford violence. As Magnnins (n. d. ) stated in his article although drug legalization will reduce the cost of drugs it will feed the habit. Therefore, the crimes with related to drugs will increase. (pg. 3-4).Lastly , drug legalization will damage the social traffic among in public. The drug users are mostly psychologically unhealthy people as they do not care about anything but drugs , and delinquent to their lack of logical designateing. The careless attitude that drug addicts exhibit in their social lives could be managed for a time by their relatives, but how long this relatives can stand this as more than and more people ferment addicts? Specifically, Turkish traditional and religious norms do not fit to legalization of drug utilisation and this will lead us to having social problems.In such a country interchangeable Turkey that has population is formed by more than %95 Muslim peopl e , it is hard to expect everyone to pursue a law which is strictly forbidden in their holly book. The ones who are for legalization of drugs mostly have same supporting ideas that they see enough induction for drug legalization. Firstly, as legalization will make drug usage legal and provide some laws, it will put drug usage under government manipulate. They assume that government condition will befriend drug users as governments will be able to keep get behind of drug usage, put quotes and even can generate income by lay taxes.However, they miss some really important points like government control will not only be unable to stop drug usage also creates some responsibilities for Turkish government. If we look into the alcohol and spate usage in Turkey , we can easily see that governments can not control drug usage by quotes and taxes. In addition, government control issue will bring problems for the Turkish government such as building rehabilitation centers for addicts and governmental care and responsibility for drug usage as Gargaro(1996) stated in her article notice all the regulation and laws surrounding cigarettes?Legal drugs means MORE LAWS , MORE regulation AND MORE GOVERNMENT, higher taxes and higher insurance rates. (pg3). The second point that drug legalization fans cry is Drug usage is an individual choice which in reality means to do whatever individual likes ,which is a right precondition by freedom , and drugs should be legalized as alcohol and smoke usage in Turkey. We understand this also from Blocks(2000) words which mainly points that not legalizing drugs means controlling individuals opinions and rights(pg4-5). Yet, regard that it is a social issue more than individuality problem.As drug users physiologic situations dont let them think critically, it will lead us to have more troubles in the community. As Maginnis(n. d. ) claims drug usage is not a personal issue as drug users families and society also endures the consequences li ke the baby on its drug user mothers stomach(pg10). To sum up, drug legalization is a sensitive situation, and the ones that stand for drug legalization should think critically, take into count the consequences of it such as effects of increasing number of addicts on ociety like increasing crime rate, possible damages on social relationships to begin with they yelling legalization will put it under government control and drug usage is an individual choice. They should mainly not regard the meaning of freedom being able to whatever individuals would like to do WITHOUT DUSTURBING OTHERS RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS. REFENANCES * Block , W. (2000) .
