Drug Dealing Should Not Be A Crime

Drug dealing should not be a crime because it does not directly harm others or force them to harm themselves. I will start evaluating this statement by checking the argument from any hidden premises to make sure that it is stated fully and in a clear way. Drug dealing should not be a crime is not a true statement because drug dealing has been illegal through the world for over a century now, it is also the cost of the cost of the biggest problems our government and the society is facing today. Dealing drugs have ruined people’s lives, and their family broken apart. I would rewrite this statement to read; Drug dealing is a crime. The second part of the statement is “because it does not directly harm others or force them to harm themselves”, it is not a true statement and valid statement, the argument in this statement is that the drug dealers have nothing to do with the drug users action after they sold their illegal drugs to them, It is called illegal drug because it is acquired illegally. An estimated 208 million people internationally consumed illegal drugs, and based on a survey by the Centers for Disease Control, 45% of high school student’s nation wide drank alcohol and about 19.7 smoked pot during a one-month period. Drug users usually start with in the school smoking pot then the pills and then they will try a cocktail of all sorts of drugs, it will eventually ruin their lives, start hearing voices in their head and sooner or later they will loose their mind. There will no affected drug users if there’s no drug dealers, it was made illegal for that reason only.
