The problem with the idea of legalizing drugs is it actually will create more addicts. I have spoken with recreational users who tell me that the only thing keeping them from becoming addicts is the thought of jail. Take away that threat and they would dive head long into addiction. How does creating more addicts help anyone? The problem will not go away if we make drugs legal.

Even countries that are liberal enough to try this approach have backed away from it, yet people refuse to accept that we cannot do it. they seem to think that eventually it will all work out because they think it will. Look around and see the real world and what happens in it.
