How many Anti-W.o.D. Freepers advocate decriminalizing anything other than marijuana?

That's a tough one. I know the reasoning behind legalization of everything, but it still scares me. Uncle Miltie's arguments are really cogent, though...

Hmm. I'd have to say I'm for the decriminalization of marijuana, but I think a case can be made against other more harmful drugs that state intervention may be warranted. But then on a regulatory level, along the lines of an FDA or something, rather than a prohibitionary one.

I advocate starting with pot because it is more than half the problem. Other illegal intoxicants are comparatively niche markets to begin with, and once the War on (some) Drugs is less of a big business, rational decisions are more likely to prevail.
