Everything except Meth should be legalized. That drug really does destroy lives and causes many victims along the way. I'm all about our personally liberties. Go ahead and bang heroin in your home next door to mine, but don't be cooking meth in your ****ing house and exposing those hazardous materials to our community, contaminating the water with chemical drainage and blowing up houses in our neighborhoods. You have the right to consume what you wish into your body, as long as it does not effect anyone else in a negative way.
Wouldn't your concern be addressed by existing pollution and bomb laws? If all drugs are legal, that wouldn't change any law that prohibits blowing up houses and polluting our water supply.
Drug use, as opposed to drug solicitation, should be decriminalized.
Drug use resulting from addiction is a medical problem and should be treated as such, especially if the user has not committed a crime, violent or otherwise.
I am 150% in support of the full legalization and regulation of marijuana, as I consider alcohol and tobacco use to be far more damaging healthwise on an individual and societal basis.
Now when it comes to harder drugs like crack-cocaine, things can get murky as that particular drug has a left a bloody trail of destroyed families and communities all across urban America.
Some debates around the harder drugs might best be left to the states to iron out, but let my people smoke that Mary Jane!!!
For decades we have proven legislation won't decrease consumption. While we take a shot at telling people its bad we flood our advertising with drug promotions.
I will go on the record that most of all drugs are just not good for anyone.
If we legalize them we can stop wasting our money and police activities.( 12 SWAT members stormed a home bec owner had 2#'s of pot.... really?)
with legal drugs we can focus on education and treatment... far better use of $$$
60% of people in jail are there relating to drugs.... Do we really need to put someone in jail for pot? If it were legal we could utilize Hemp and have so many more products. We also wouldn't have to use our military to protect Afghan poppy fields.
yes! imagine how much better things would be if cops focused on murder, paedophiles, rapists, robbers, burglars, car thieves etc. they would have a lot more time to police what they are supposed to police.

And imagine a crack user having to go into a legitimate health center to purchase their "fix" instead of meeting a criminal, secretly in a dark alley. Use and abuse would plummet.
