"With marijuana legal people would have no reason to come into contact with the really nasty guys..."

With all drugs legal (as called for in the article) the heroin and the cocaine and the methamphetamine will be on the store shelf right next to the marijuana.

But you'd have us believe that the legal marijuana users would never reach over to buy the legal cocaine -- there'd be no "gateway" effect if all drugs were legal.

Actually, I did not have in mind that the harder drugs would be over the counter, like alcohol.

I was thinking that the harder drugs should be handled more like prescription medicines.

If we can limit prescription drug use on grounds of safety then we certainly can limit rec drug use for same reasons.

But we should not limit rec drug use on grounds that people should not use them for personal recreation.
