Those who oppose the legalization of drugs argue that if drugs are legalized,

A) drug use and addiction will skyrocket.
B) more middle-class persons will become drug addicts.
C) many policemen and prison guards would become unemployed.
D) the government would have major problems distributing drugs.

Opponents of drug legalization argue that making drugs more accessible and socially acceptable would lead to increased drug use and addiction. They believe that drug legalization would remove the legal and social barriers to drug use, thereby making it easier for people to experiment with and become addicted to drugs. This, in turn, could lead to a rise in crime rates and other social problems associated with drug addiction.
