Should many drugs be legalised?
The amount of violence by drug gangs in Ireland has reached alarming proportions and police seem unable to do much about it. I wonder if legalising at least the less harmful drugs would reduce the killing.

That sounds like failure to assist a person in danger.
Some people think it's a good solution against gang activities, I personally tend to think people will not become responsible and nice because it's legal.
I'm more victim-oriented there (the victims being drug-abusers themselves as well as people around them). Drug-addicts will try stronger stuff that is not legal. As far as drug-related violence is concerned, alcohol is legal, and yet many crimes are still committed while people are drunk.
