But rampant drugs and drug use destroys the culture. People will start to try them because they are available to try if not outlawed. The majority of the ghettos and cities with high crime rates have a drug problem. Drugs are bad. Who would want to poison the body and end up sick? You have to enjoy life not start destroying the one body you were given. If it is your choice fine, but people make an industry of it. If it is legal then the industry will flourish like in Amsterdam.

Wow. You really don't see it, do you?
The people who "poison their body" are those who are the most in need of help (and hope) -- Jesus came to heal the sick, not the well... and if you are a christian then your goal is to become Christ-like. Period.

Legal drugs didn't destroy our society the last time they were legal (nor has the legal drug alcohol done so), and legal prostitution hasn't destroyed Nevada.

But rampant drugs and drug use destroys the culture.

There is no sound reason to expect legalization to lead to "rampant" drug use - it didn't the last time drugs were legal in the USA.

People will start to try them because they are available to try if not outlawed.

News flash: they are available to try now even though outlawed.

Is the law YOUR primary reason to not use drugs?

The majority of the ghettos and cities with high crime rates have a drug problem.

And an alcohol problem, and a fatherlessness problem, and etc. Which causes what?

And note that the illegality of drugs incentivizes crime by hyperinflating the price of drugs.

Drugs are bad. Who would want to poison the body and end up sick? You have to enjoy life not start destroying the one body you were given.

All applicable to alcohol and tobacco - and all decisions that should be left to individuals.

If it is your choice fine, but people make an industry of it. If it is legal then the industry will flourish like in Amsterdam.

No more than the alcohol and tobacco industries flourish in the USA. Should those be banned? If people want things, other people will sell them - that's a fundamental fact of human nature that can't be legislated away ... but such utopian legislative fantasies can do a lot of harm, as we saw with Prohibition and see today with the War On Drugs.
