| | | | Illegal drug trade: Encyclopedia II - Illegal drug trade - Soft drugs Many people do not find the hard/soft drug distinction useful, as it is the drug users' behavior that is the most important determinate of harm, not the choice of drug: all drugs can be harmful if misused. A more useful distinction ranks drugs according to their toxicity and addictive potential. However, the legal treatment of drugs still seems influenced by perception rather than fact, so this article will group the discussion accordingly.
"Soft" drugs are generally drugs which are perceived to have less potential for causing physica ...

| | | | Illegal drug trade: Encyclopedia II - Methamphetamine - Production Methamphetamine is structurally similar to methcathinone, amphetamine, and other stimulants, and it may be produced from ephedrine or pseudoephedrine by chemical reduction. Most of the necessary chemicals are readily available in household products or over-the-counter medicines. This makes methamphetamine appear unusually easy to make, unlike cannabis and cocaine, which are both harvested directly from plants.
Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and ephedrine hydrochloride are commonly available decongestant drugs without strong euphoric ef ...

| | | | Illegal drug trade: Encyclopedia II - Schapelle Corby - Criminal trial The fact that marijuana was located in Corby's luggage has never been disputed, but Corby has since consistently maintained that she had become an unwitting drug courier (drug mule) for what was supposed to have been an interstate shipment of drugs between Brisbane and Sydney in Australia.
In proposing such a defence, any indication that Corby might have been reluctant to present her luggage would have been severely injurious to her defence. Ultimately, the case for the prosecution included testimony from four Indonesian officers that ...

| | | | Illegal drug trade: Encyclopedia II - Consensual crime - Examples People often debate which crimes are consensual, arguing either that those involved are not in fact consenting adults, or that the crimes are not victimless. The following is a list of criminal acts in various societies at various times, that some people regard as consensual crimes, arranged into three broad categories:
Sex crimes and crimes related to reproduction:
Adultery and, in general, sex outside marriage where all persons involved give consent (though violation of a marriage contract may involve a direct vi ...

| | | | Illegal drug trade: Encyclopedia II - Arguments for and against drug prohibition - Arguments against prohibition Arguments against drug prohibition tend to fall into one of three categories:
The war on drugs is having little or no effect on the trafficking of drugs, except to make them more expensive. Since the use of all major recreational drugs except opiates has increased since the passing of the laws which illegalized them, the increase in cost cannot be said to discourage the use of the drugs.
The war on drugs is extremely costly to our society in terms of taxpayer dollars, lives, productivity, the inability of law enforcemen ...

| | | | Illegal drug trade: Encyclopedia II - Capital punishment in Singapore - Public debate Public debate in the Singaporean news media on the death penalty is almost non-existent, although the topic does occasionally get discussed in the midst of major, well-known criminal cases. Efforts to garner public opinion on the issue are rare, although it is generally assumed that most Singaporeans support it and believe it plays a part in keeping the crime rate in Singapore low.
Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam, the first ever opposition Member of Parliament in Singapore, was only given a few minutes to speak in parliament on the issue b ...

| | | | Illegal drug trade: Encyclopedia II - Methamphetamine - Methods of use Methamphetamine can be swallowed, snorted, smoked, dissolved in water and injected, or inserted anally (with or without dissolution in water). As with all addictive drugs, the potential for addiction is greater when it is delivered by methods that cause the concentration in the blood to rise quickly, principally because the effects desired by the user are felt more quickly and with a higher intensity than through a moderated delivery mechanism. In fact, studies have shown that the subjective pleasure of drug use (the reinforcing component of ...
