Reply to comment by Whatevernevermind2k in Premier 'astonished' at B.C. firm's claim it got Health Canada approval to make and sell cocaine by IHOP_007

Do you really not see the violence the drug trade has caused in poorer communities? Its a black market item so that makes it way more dangerous. Colombia in the 80s/90s, mexico now.

Please the war on drugs has been an enormous failure

What make you so sure the violence would not be a hell of a lot worse if it was legalised?

The most violence caused by any intoxicant is caused by alcohol; which is legal.
