Legalizing drugs does not legitimize drugs.

Really? Google "Molly" and say, Madonna, Hollywood, concert, rap and see what you get.

In the minds of our kids drugs are already legitimate, legal or not.

I worked on the front lines of the drug war for years, Ace. Your logic is faulty and you are on the same side of this issue as Chapo Guzman. It is the job of the church to combat the idiotic idea that drug use is okay. Government should stay out of it.

Yes,these drugs are harmful. Perhaps if they were regulated, fewer deaths would result.

Keep in mind that spray paint and turpentine can be obtained by adults, and even children. Yet how many people regularly “huff” paint?

Drugs were criminalized in the affluent town that I grew up in, but the best place to obtain drugs was in school.

I skimmed the statements of the popes. They generally decry the use of illegal drugs and the associated drug war violence, but I didn’t see a public policy prescription. I’ll have to go back and re-read their statements.
