Thanks for the exchange but I don't think legalizing drugs is a positive path or the answer to anything.

By relegalizing drugs we'd reduce the following effects of the War On Some Drugs: deaths of innocents in drug-turf wars; deaths of users due to impurities or unexpectedly high potencies; enrichment of criminals (domestic and foreign); corruption of the justice system by enriched criminals; and lessened respect for the law in general.
Not to mention upholding the principle that adults should be free to make their own non-rights-violating choices (even if the choices they make are stupid).
