What would happen if drugs were legalised?

What do I think would happen? I expect you to think that I might say something like “oh my god it would be awesome! The best thing that could ever happen” or maybe “it would be terrible, just think of the children, can anybody please think of the children”

Bolivian Government seeks to amend United Nations coca legislation

See video

On Thursday, the 30th July 2009 at the Substantive Session of the Economic and Social Council Bolivia began the formal process to amend legislation concerning coca leaf chewing.

The United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs that dates back to 1961 puts the coca leaf in the same category as Cocaine and states that ‘coca leaf chewing must be abolished within twenty-five years from the coming into force of this Convention’. The Convention was later signed by Bolivia in 1976 during the dictatorship of Colonel Hugo Banzer.
