In the Marijuana News published in 2005 a classification in the category of drugs was made. To quote from the newspaper itself, the statement carried " stronger and weaker varieties" that strictly referred to the categories of drugs. But a strong opposition was also mentioned in the news made by Sir Ian. He had strictly made it clear through his view "We would be arguing strongly not for a double classification in terms of strengths." Hence what is the basis of drug legitimacy?

Increasing number of users

Already surveys show that drug users and the number of addicts are reaching to the zenith point. Everyday the percentage is increasing in spite of so much legal pressure and constriction. If the use of drugs is made legal then how will the administration keep a track on this ill practice?

Now there are drugs in the natural form such as opium and cannabis. Legitimization will provide an easy access to all forms of drugs and make their use popular. And will the legal body claim that natural substances used regularly for addiction and as stimulants are safe and good to be used?

Once the accessibility range is made wide and easy, the rehabilitation process will take a very tough shape. You might find a drug addict in every home. The legal threatening definitely works as a bigger and stronger inhibition for the drug abusers and drug trafficking dealers. Many don't indulge into this wrong practice out of fear of getting trapped into a legal process where punishment and penalty, both can take place.

Affecting the younger generation

The freedom to access anything has two sides. Sometimes you hardly take any interest on things that are easily made available to you. The curiosity is reduced. It is a common instinct in the human beings to go for the forbidden things.

But how will you prohibit the teenagers and the younger generation from this entrapment? Will their interest too fall down if the availability of narcotics is made in the grocery store at any corner of the street? It's pretty tough to give an accurate and straight answer.

Anyway legalization of drugs and its use have many flip sides and they can bring in a real danger to the society. Even if legitimacy is provided there has to be strict administration provisions and governance to regulate the use of drugs. Otherwise it is a deadly invitation for the entire society.
