Furthermore, we could up the penalties for those who commit drug-induced crimes. Stiff fines and punishment are a powerful deterrent.
And besides, do anti-legalization folks really think Americans are that stupid that they would just try dangerous, hallucogenic drugs just because they were legalized? How many people have resisted using PCP just because it wasn't legal? You can get high of ammonia fumes without fear of being caught--how many people here have done that? I haven't, because I value my brain cells. Legalizing drugs won't eliminate the personal consequences that come with taking them. The people who are going to go on a PCP spree if PCP is legalized are the same people who would've done it ANYWAY.

They seem to think that LAW is the only thing that makes people be moral.
I guess if drugs and gay sex were legalized, they'd all run out and smoke crack and bugger each other.
