I for one wished they would legalize all drugs. All illegal drugs do is
create a very profitable business for criminals, force drug users to
commit crimes to support their expensive habits and divert police
resources to fight a war we will never win. It didn't work for alcohol,
it isn't working for drugs.

Criminals don't make the laws. You need to look beyond them to understand
why drugs are illegal. It has to benefit *someone* financially.
Typically, that would be our legislators.


I wouldn't "legalize" all drugs, but I'd sure support decriminalization
for possession of small amounts and for use. There are some drugs out
there that are just too potent and cause too much damage to be in anyone's
possession. One example is crystal meth.

Oh please....hard liquor will wreck your body if used incorrectly. My
brother in law tried to stop his heavy drinking without medical assistance.
Apparently, the DTs can reach a point where they're like grand mal seizures.
In his case, it stopped his heart. He was found dead in a cheap motel room.
45 years old, IIRC.
