All drugs, including cocaine, should be legalized to those older than 18... the price would plummet, crime would fall...how often have you read of a murder or robbery for a pack of cigarettes or a sixpack of beer? Yes, it does happen but VERY infrequently...let people ruin their own lives if they want...if young people want to do drugs, tax it and when they die early, it takes away some of the financial liabilities that the pols have laid on the rest of us.
I know a number of people at a bereavement support group who would be horrified at that suggestion. They lost offspring to drug overdoses, generally cocaine or heroin. Interestingly, I do not believe that any of them were marijuana overdoses...

Ahh, but how many times have we heard of vicious crimes being committed BY someone high on drugs?
Actually, theft of beer from stores is very common in the seedier sections of town.
