Crack use will never dissapear [etc.]I already agreed with that.
I still feel my points about narcotics having a propensity to hook people into addiction cycles much quicker than alcohol is an argument that has merit
You have yet to provide any evidence for your claim.
I do feel it would be wise to make every effort to keep narcotics out of the hands of children.And I think these substances would reach the hands of children much more easily if they were more readily available in our society.
By that logic, everything that's dangerous for children should be banned for adults---alcohol, knives, cars, ....

In one of my earlier posts I cited a reputable source that explained that crack is often so addictive that even one encounter with the substance can render some helpless against cravings for more.How often do you hear about someone developing alcohol cravings of this intensity after their first drink?

Why are these things not banned then? Obviously a majority of the american people do not feel they should be illegal.A majority of the public must not feel strongly that drugs should be legalized or they would be excercising their free-speech rights and trying to get the laws changed.I am not talking about alcohol,knives and cars here,I am specifically talking about schedule 1 narcotics.
