Yeah I read your post. Sorry but dope wasn’t around in the 60s . . unless you were hangin out at Haight Asbury. It was the post 60s when kids thought they were truly smarter than their elders, and I can pinpoint specifically when dope hit my part of the country.
Ok so let’s do it your way. Legalize it and let’s create another addiction, another host of problems. Genius. As if we don’t have enough crap to deal with nowadays. And then when you and others realize your mistake, how do you propose to undo it? That I’d like to hear.

Two consequences that pot prohibitionists attribute to marijuana legalization— more underage consumption and more traffic fatalities—so far do not seem to be materializing in Colorado, which has allowed medical use since 2001 and recreational use since the end of 2012.
Survey data released last week by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) indicate that marijuana use among high school students continues to decline, despite warnings that legalization would make pot more appealing to teenagers.

I can tell you exactly how it's going to get undone. When anarchy gets to a certain point, a dictator comes along, shoots all the troublemakers and establishes himself in power.
That's what happened in China, and that's what will eventually happen here. Everyone will become government property, and the dictator won't put up with people damaging HIS property.
Mao solved China's opium problem by executing everyone caught with the drug.
