Why are so many things illegal?

Answer 1

Certain drugs are illegal because they are made so by the laws. This is done to protect the majority of the humans from the adverse affect of drugs. Moreover certain drugs are for relieving tension. Through ones mind, they give a sense of relief to the nervous system of the body. But people become addicted to them and try to spend much of their time wasting on them.

Answer 2

We would have less people dieing each year!

ANS2:I and a few million others in the pharmaceutical industry would be out of work! How many people do you suppose would die without drugs?

Answer 3

Drugs shouldn't be legalized because the harmeful effects on your bosy will kill you. There are many effects on pregnant women who take drugs. When their babys are born they may be addicted to the drugs their mothers took when they were in the womb. People can be addicted to drugs and live on the streets because they sold all of their possesions for drugs.

Answer 4

There are three potential answers to this question.

The first is that there are so many things that one can do that might cause harm to others. These need to be made illegal to protect others.

The second is that whilst it is often easy to identify what seems wrong (hitting someone for example) it is often much harder to formulate a single law that precisely and fairly prohibits it. For example if it was illegal to hit someone, you would make boxing and self defence illegal. So we end up with lots of different laws that try to precisely define when it is and when it is not illegal to do something.

The third (and most controversial) is a political philosophy that it is the role of government to regulate the moral behaviour of the population. This gives rise (for example) to laws about drugs, prostitution, pornography, guns, gambling and abortion that not everyone necessarily agrees with.
