Right. I believe in the unconditional legalization of all drugs and open sale of prescription medications. People should be free to use their own judgement about what is best for their lives. The war on drugs is a war on freedom and an excuse to lock up minorities (while letting whites off). Nothing more. Nothing less. It wastes billions of dollars and destroys more lives than drugs. If the drugs were legal, there would be far less crime. Think about it. During Prohibition, crime sky-rocketed. Make drugs legal and the bottom would fall out of the market. They would be affordable, clean, and safe. The government could tax them and regulate them. Prostitution and gambling should be legalized for the same reasons.
I haven't heard of anyone stealing cars to buy alcohol. I've never heard of them breaking into houses to buy tobacco. They don't hold up stores to get junk food. Drug addiction would be manageable if you didn't need hundreds (or thousands) of dollars a day to buy the drugs. Plus, when drugs are legal, the police will have more time to focus on catching the violent criminals and thieves.
BTW, tobacco is more addictive than heroin, according to users who have tried to quit. Cigarettes and alcohol kill more people each year than all drugs combined. The drug war stands for hypocrisy, double standards, and wasted resources.
