Since the "War On Drugs" has been an expensive, dismal failure, yes, legalize ALL the junk! I don't care if it is natural, processed, or synthetic; new or old; deadly or just mildly annoying. I am tired of the cost in lives and dollars that fighting the garbage is costing.
DUI laws are already in force, and they will have to be strictly enforced.
If the mental defectives want to put this trash in their bodies, let them. Tax it heavily, and take the profit motive away from the criminals.
Since it is impossible to stop the insanity, it is time to make it legal.
I think you're totally off base. The effects of drugs are so varied that to lump them all together makes no sense at all.
Hardly off base. The pro-drug side always compares hard drugs with alcohol, cigarettes, chocolate and coffee. The pro-drug side will compare people who have a glass of wine in the evening, a cup of coffee in the morning with hard core drug addicts injecting any sort of drug into their veins.
If it's someone's right to smoke pot all day then how is it not their right to use meth, heroine, lsd, date rape drugs and whatever else?
OP - AFAIAC all currently illicite drugs should be available to any adult and sold over the counter in state operated, like New Hampshire hard liquor stores, retail facilities. Only thing required would be a proof of age ID.

I don't see the failure. Crime rates in the USA, especially homicides are down considerably from what they once were. But look at Mexico where all drugs are legal to use - and things are really going to hell there.

i beg to differ...please show me any stat or link that shows how successfull our "War on Drugs" has been in the past 20 years...
If you did and taxed it,there might never be a budget deficit.
only if you 'could' regulate the tax
the true answer to taxing ANY illegal thing (to include legal, and illegal people working 'off-the-books') is to get rid of the 'income' tax and bring the "fair-tax"

You mentioned "have a glass of wine one evening" then compared it somehow to "smoking pot all day". I, for one, only partake when snowboarding or during special occasions, and in between I never fantasize about when I'm going to take my next hit. However, I tend to overdrink when I do. The addicting effects of alcohol are far worse than pot, even from this anecdotal perspective and of course the statistics of people who are unable to responsibly handle alcohol tell the whole story.
We jail more people per capita than North Korea. Think about it...
AFAIK - Growing, manufacturing, possessing, transporting and selling of all these drugs in illegal in Mexico. These laws are not enforced because the woefully under trained and under paid cops are bribed to ignore the traffickers. Another reason for ignoring the law is the drug economy is the only profitable economy in many rural areas since NAFTA put the wheat and corn farmers out of business.
