Is my point.
I agree, dead is dead!!! injured is injured!!! a paraplegic is a paraplegic!!! doesn't matter whether it was a texting driver, drunk driver, a stoned driver, or one on prescription drugs...

And if no one was hurt at all? No accident occurred.
According to a new*Gallup poll, 58 percent of Americans support legalizing marijuana—the largest percentage ever in that survey. “Success at the ballot box in the past year in Colorado and Washington may have increased Americans’ tolerance for marijuana legalization,” Gallup says. “Support for legalization has jumped 10 percentage points since last November and the legal momentum shows no sign of abating.”
I also recall a book titled "The Extraordinary Delusions and Popular Madness of Crowds"
Drugs give the lazy unemployed something to do with all their free time.
Weird, I work full time and most days after work I enjoy a craft brew or two with my coworkers. This is a steady drug habit, yet, as stated before, I work full time.
Sometimes my beers are accompanied by nicotine and cannabis. So your point is kinda... umm... wrong.
Tons of pot everywhere sold on the black market..so legalize it already BUT:
Tax it for Chrissakes! Nobody has an issue with exhorbitant taxes on tobacco, and alcohol. Can you imagine how much tax money they could get out it? You have any idea how much tax is paid on a lousy pack of ciggies? Can you imagine the revenue this would produce?
Even more importantly, legalize meth and tax it too! More people are robbed and even killed by crazed meth addicts running all over the place. Let the idiots get their fix (priced on, say, McDonald's wages) so they'll leave people alone. Just make sure ya tax it.
I was surprised to learn there was a poll a couple of months ago in Oklahoma in which they apparently took great pains to cover a wide demographic of urban, rural, various ages and cultural/ethnic backgrounds, etc. and the results showed 71% in the state supported medical marijuana and 57% supported legalization across the board.

By "drugs" are you also including aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs? Caffeine? Nicotine? Alcohol? And the host of Big Pharma chemical compounds that are prescribed ubiquitously on a daily basis?
This is a really baseless, nonsensical statement. Plenty of successful professionals and working class people engage in drug use, from pills to beer to pot.
You could replace the word "drugs" in your statement with "asparagus" and have a statement equally valid and accurate.
Which is to say, not very valid or accurate at all...

I just voted no on the tax on recreational marijuana in Colorado. Remember, the black market for cannabis is very established, if you tax it too much on the legitimate market, people won't buy.
If it is to be taxed it has to start out at low rates so that the legitimate market has a chance to compete with the black market and attract customers, otherwise the problems inherent with prohibition stay in play.
All drugs should be legal, that is the only way to make all drugs safe as possible, and we should be raising humans who are responsible and intelligent enough to decide what to put in their own body.

You mean like stockbrokers snorting coke?
