Legalizing Drugs Production and Trafficking

Narcotics are the one of the most addictive things on Earth. People use anti depressants, alcoholic drinks, nicotine to meet up with their drug needs. People use from cigarettes to Marijuana, Hashish and Cocaine to ease up. They can pay whatever they can to get drugs. Cocaine, opium and other narcotics production is banned in most of the countries. Production of these narcotics is only allowed to meet up with the pharmaceutical needs. But  people produce it on their own to get huge profit. Drug producing countries and regions smuggle drugs to and earn huge amount of black money. It is estimated that drugs of value $400 billion has been traded all the time till 2009. It is the most profitable illegal trade of all times.

Drug is the thing whose demand has never been waned. It is always increasing. People around the World need drugs on daily bases. Countries with less law and enforcement has more people involved in this business. Drug lords have made these countries their play grounds. They are killing and corrupting people and minds to get their interests. Mostly criminals from the third World countries are involved in this nasty business. Afghanistan, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, The Bahamas and Burma are the major countries involved in drug producing. Pakistan, India, Guatemala, Laos, Nigeria, Mexico and other countries are involved in transiting drugs. Afghanistan is the primary opium producer in the World. Colombia supplies almost the two third of the demand of cocaine. Mexico is the main country from where drugs enter USA.
People are earning a huge amount of black money from this black business. In Mexico a dug trader named as Joaquin “Shorty” Guzman, leader of Sinaloa drug cartel in Mexico, made it to 701st richest person in the World by worth of $1 billion reported by Forbes. He does not hesitate to kill people for drugs. He is one of the four drug lords in Mexico. Those cartels have automatic weapons, body armors, Kevlar helmets and the most sophisticated command and control structure.
Despite all the efforts to eradicate drug smuggling and producing by the governments of those counties, drugs production has increased never decreased. Governments of these countries should legalize the drugs production and trafficking. The legislators of those countries should make laws to make all the drugs activity legal. By this effort the government can nationalize the business of drugs. These laws will help the governments to cover all the drug trade.  Governments can earn a huge amount in the term of custom duty.

May be some people criticize legalizing the drugs because after this more people will be addicted to drugs. Governments will legalize this business and after it they will control the whole demand and supply chain. The drug users will have a special ratio of  drugs to use in a special period of time. This can be used to reduce or keep the drug users level stable. Government will only supply drugs to those who are regular users of drugs. There would be a list of drug users under the observation of government. A new drug user will have to take permit from government to use drugs. He will have to give reason that why does he want to use drugs. This will help the government to know about the new social trends that are compelling the people to use drugs. Government will try to eradicate those reasons. Today drugs valued millions of dollars are burnt by governments Tomorrow those millions of dollars can be used for welfare of human being.

I think legalization of drugs will help a lot to form a better society and earn a huge amount of money which is black now a days and cannot be invested in desired objects, will be available to invest on people and progressive projects.
