Look at the numbers: hard drugs are not economically significant. The money is all in pot, coke, x, and speed. You could put speed in either category, but needle drugs are a drop in the bucket. As satisfying as it might be to execute heroin dealers, it will not make a measurable difference to anything.

Coke, crack and meth are hard drugs in my book. Pot is not. Ecstasy I don't know enough to say though some classify it as hard drug. LSD is a hard and dangerous drug though not addictive far as I know. What galls me is you have people who support pot legalization and use that as a front. You probe them as little and you find out they support all drugs being legalized. I resent this Tom Foolery. It's as if medicinal pot/legal pot is the Trojan horse that leads to legalization of all drugs.

Plenty of inner city dopers would be liberated by it. Heroin use is slavery.
