I read you post but still not sure. Are you for the decriminalization of ALL drugs?

In response to whether I favor decriminalization of ALL drugs, the answer is yes. However, I'm certainly not pro-drug abuse.
Simply smoking pot is not an abuse. Buying pot at the expense of your children's groceries or basic needs IS an abuse. Driving while high IS an abuse.
The gradual deglamourization of LEGAL cigarette smoking combined with decades of honest education has caused a decline in its use.
Illegal drug use is glamourized and has been for years. While only a radical fool would dispute the dangers of using a hard narcotic, credibility and trust in government have been damaged because people of all backgrounds realize that not all of those substances pose dangers any worse than what can be legally purchased at the convenience or liquor store.
Legalize, regulate, educate. Watch the changes for the better.
