Because it's easy to argue that the blackmarket trade in proscribed drugs is itself detri

mental to society. So while you think you're "doing no harm", you're actually helping prop up an industry which is harmful to all of us.

That's why.

I agree with you, by the way, I'm all in favour of the regulation of most, if not all, narcotics, but I recognise the opposing arguments. Actually I say "all in favour of ..." but I'm not really -I have my reservations: if you remove the black market for narcotics, what do the organised criminals that currently run the drugs trade do? The answer certainly isn't "just go away". They'll do something to make thier money.
