Anti Drug propaganda and Cannabis Legalization Writing

The war on drugs started by the U.S. government is a very contradictory action. The broad coverage of the war on drugs is actually advertising, allowing to attract new customers and to inform the old ones of the new products (drugs), their properties, prices and places of sale. Education of schoolchildren about drugs, in fact, plays the same role. It provides them with information that would otherwise be unavailable to them, or available at high cost. Even the stories about the drug-related risks play the role of advertising, because adolescents are the most risk-averse consumers. Thus, the government controls the drug trafficking advertising campaign and finances it from taxpayers' funds, while pharmaceutical companies, for instance, are forced to conduct and finance the advertising campaigns on their own.

Economic science sees drugs as goods with negative external effects, as harm to the health and social problems that arise, because of the limited consumer choice in private illegal market. Therefore, it would be logical to legalize drug use, and set taxes for them like the ones put on tobacco and alcohol production and marketing. Coyle proposes this legislation to be accepted for soft drugs, like cannabis, which do not cause irreversible physical dependence on them. Nevertheless, he does not offer any measures for dealing with serious drugs, like cocaine and heroin. So, anti-drug propaganda is the right way to fight drug consumption. The legalization of drugs should be elaborated by each drug separately.
