You know...people are going to use drugs regardless. How many people who don't use drugs do you know that say "wow, if it were legal I would TOTALLY do heroine ALL the fucking time!"? None, right?

People who use will use, and people who don't use won't use. Legalizing the stuff isn't going to make a spit of difference.

Let the crap get legalized. Let the government standardize it. Make the drugs themselves safer (ie - not cut with something really scary) and go all gung-ho about harm reduction so people can use the drugs more "safely". Sell the shit for cheaper than the dealers do - there won't be dealers any more once it's no longer profitable. Hell, legalizing it would curb a world of drug trade related violence. It'd make things safer for everybody involved, and even for those who are uninvolved. Christ, TAX the stuff.
