Blog 12: Third Interview Questions

I wanted to make sure if it was ay-oh-kay for me to interview Lisa the secretary. In my time at the office I have learned a lot from her. Her views and knowledge intrigue me and I wanted to know if it was okay for me to ask her the following questions.

1. What is the most important outcome for governments which have decriminalized drug use?'
2. Would legalizing drug use be a better choice over decriminalizing drug use?
3. Portugal has been one of the first countries to decriminalize drug use, do you think this is valid evidence to move towards decriminalizing it in the states.
4. If the U.S. were to move forward in decriminalizing drugs, would you expect to see more violence in the streets involving drugs but not directly in the cases at the office.
5. What would be ideal regulations if drugs were decriminalized?
6. In some studies, mostly Portugal studies, it was shown that people more voluntarily went to seek professional drug help after the decriminalization. Where would the numbers be affected in the U.S.?
7. Would decriminalizing bring in revenue for the government or hurt the economy?
8. Do you think the police enforcement on drugs will become more lenient as it has been seen in Portugal? (you can't smoke it out in the open, yet it's seen in cafe shops to be more than often smoked)
9. How does drugs play it's role in our society? Does it hurt it at all as others claim it does?
10. Have you heard this debate on decriminalizing it before often? Or is it something that hasn't really been set on the table and discussed by others?
