Request for Support of Regulated Drug Markets
Dear [NAME], I am writing to you as a concerned citizen from [CITY/CONSTITUENCY]. Current drug policy forces people who use drugs into illegal markets. There they buy substances of unknown composition and dosage from criminals – often in dangerous conditions. Every year, thousands die from contamination and overdoses that would be preventable through quality control. At the same time, over 30 billion euros annually flow into the hands of cartels – money that finances violence, corruption, and instability in producer countries, while the state foregoes tax revenue. In documentaries and reports about drug crime, we always hear: "There is no solution." Yet never is even half a sentence spent considering that real regulation – with legal production, legal wholesale, and legal sales – could disempower the cartels. This blind spot in the debate must end. The solution: A fully regulated market with controlled sale of all drugs in pharmacies or licensed specialist shops. This model can: • Save lives through pharmaceutical quality and correct dosing • Take away the entire market from cartels – not just retail sales • Generate billions in tax revenue for prevention and therapy • Enable counseling and early detection through trained professionals I ask you to advocate for a fully regulated drug market – with health protection instead of black markets. Yours sincerely, [YOUR NAME] [YOUR ADDRESS]
Tip:
Replace the placeholders [NAME], [CITY/CONSTITUENCY], [YOUR NAME] and [YOUR ADDRESS] with your details.
