all drugs should be legalized. the money saved on the
wod should be used for treatment. fedgov and stategov have
no jurisdiction over what people choose to ingest.

Legalizing drugs will "normalize" the behavior, making it epidemic.

...like alchololism? are there more alchololics every year
just because drinking is legal? if heroin was legal would you shoot up. some people would , but i don't think that
there would be a massive increase in the number of heroin
addicts?

Every attempt to measure the matter at the time when the evidence was most available (i.e. the years immediately following repeal of Prohibition I) shows that drinking actually went down (for one thing, once alcohol could again be shipped without the need for concealment, the market shifted from high-proof booze to low-proof beer and wine).

Interesting. Have any links?
