Timeline: What If Drugs Were Suddenly Legal

Drug use can have a wide range of short- and long-term, direct and indirect effects on the human body and mind.
It’s an interesting thought, and probably one that most addicts have had at one time or another. How would the modern industrialized nation change if it simply abandoned the war on drugs and legalized them all? Well, today's timeline video is just about that.

Drugs are only illegal on paper and this video timeline has already played out.

Bet the day of legalization would be 4/20

The one major problem is regulation, some people wouldn't follow the rules (and these people are the reason why we can't have nice things), some would drive while influenced, some would get violent, and some would overdose or give them to minors. Drugs are similar to alcohol, fun and indulgent, but bad for health if overused.

The Netherlands and Portugal and other countries where these substances are legal are showing this is actually a good idea. Prohibition was also a good example of this.

My mom: **Cries in weed illegal in england**

This would be a good idea. You would need a license to sell it and one to take them. The one to take them would just be how much of what is too much of it

I like how the video only starts over halfway
