All Drugs Legalized
If you lehalize all drugs, you will end up saving millions of lives, lives are destroyed when inocent people are put into cages, drug gangs, mexican drug cartels killing each other, the use of drugs declines when they are legal and people are more likely to get rehab. I for one don,t use drugs because i think thier bad for you, i also think smoking, and drinking are bad for you, if we make everything that are bad for you illegal we would have more crimes and coruption.

If you legalize drugs it will do the opposite of what you think, the criminal will change the criminal trade. More people will get addicted, crime rates will soar, more people will die. I would back the legalization of cannabis, but nothing else.

Here's an interesting point, in the church of Santo Daime, when people catch their kids smoking weed, taking crystal meth or even drinking alcohol god forbid, what do they do?
They take them down to the church and give them a hallucinogen containing DMT. That's a class A drug. This removes the chemical and the emotional dependence they had on whatever they were taking before. And it's not addictive.
Think about that, a non addictive cure for heroin addiction is in the same legal category as heroin. And why? Because it's enjoyable. Big Pharma is trying to remove the euphoric properties of THC so they can patent a legal marijuana. They may tell you they're not trying to spoil your fun. But then, they used to tell us that money doesn't grow on trees. Well it turns out it does, and they are.
Homosexuals have more rights and respect than consenting drug users. Dyslexics are no longer pariahs. The suffragettes got the vote. All were put in prisons or asylums for reasons considered to be self evident. Yet it requires a more tenuous explanation to justify drug laws.
And if I were to defend drug use in court, I would have to defend it as a sincere religious ritual. And the onus is on me to prove the sincerity. And why? Because choice and consent are not good enough for people like you. You tell me how to prove something as nebulous as sincerity when these people don't even respond to health ministers resigning from office due to widespread, ubiquitous, government sponsored, science denial.
Drug laws are so ludicrously counter productive any rational person could only conclude they were made that way by design.
Babelfish, I'm shocked you could say that, I'm sure you once stated that you had lived in Holland. 'nuf said.
It's all too easy to say don't impose your beliefs on others when talking about religion but that is exactly what you're doing every time you defend prohibition. If it is really so bad, it would have been illegal long before 1971. Give me the freedom to 'ruin my life', I give you yours.

Also, you may want to consult Portugal and Holland before touting alarmist theories on what people will do if you restore their God given freedoms.

My personal thoughts on drugs not from experience but from research: if it grows from the earth its ok, if it came out of a lab its not. LSD is something that has potential to open up new mental pathways. Heroine, Ecstasy, and Meth are terrible and should of never been created. Marijuana should of never been illegal in the first place. Cocaine in moderation isn't necessarily terrible, however moderation with cocaine is nearly impossible.

Then pay for the mental health issues (psychotic episodes, schizophrenia, tooth lose, liver disease etc).
