At what expense? Would millions of the healthy minds and bodies of our youth be too much of a price to pay for your tastes? Would this be too high a price to pay for your vision of "freedom"?

Alcohol and tobacco are by far the greatest scourges of American youth and adults. When you can answer your own questions as they apply to alcohol and tobacco, you'll understand my position (or you'll have come out for banning alcohol and tobacco).

As I stated before,I am not in favor of alcohol and tobbacco prohibition. One reason is these are the choice of your average working man,which MDMA,heroin,etc. are not. Alcohol and Tobbacco are not even in the same league as hard drugs such as MDMA. I'm not for making anything illegal,I think citizens should have as many freedoms as possible,but I think the only positive aspect to legalizing all drugs would be elimination of the black markets for these substances.There's no easy solution to the drug problem,there is no black and white absolutes on this issue.
