Never did pot either. But I think it’s pretty common knowledge that the only reason pot is not legalized is because of the alcohol lobby.

With all of the drug violence in Mexico threatening to spill over into the US, I think it is time to reconsider the War on Some Drugs.

i thought it was the paper and chemical industry that helped get hemp banned thus also hurting it’s sister marijuana.

Wow, it sounds like pragmatic Libertarians are surfacing on Freep!

I don’t smoke dope, but our laws against dope are silly and antiquated. And yes, it is a smarter way to fight the Mexican drug gangs.

Heroin and cocaine? Heroin is just bad and legalization will lead to increased number of addicts, crime to pay for it, government programs to take care of heroin addicts, etc. So, no.

Cocaine? Never done it. Don’t know if it is addicting. I hear about cokeheads, but don’t know if it is like heroin.

Frankly, I would rather have people driving cars on marijuana and coke (small amounts) that 6 shots of Black Jack with beer chasers!
