There is a thread about this issue that hasn't been active for over 13 weeks now, so I would like to make a new one that is specifically deal with this question. I know that if you made something illegal, you will increases the likelihood of it being abuse. And please don't use the crime analogy on this, because I only narrow this observation in drugs not other crime related activity. Now in US the anti drug campaign is clearly losing its battle, because it is going to deaf's ear as the number of drug abuser increases each year. I would have like it if they actually do something about making it legal under the supervision of FDA to make it in the caterigory of alcohol and cigarette. That way we monitored the use and regluate the frequency of the use of drugs.
Of course the tax dollors collected through it can be use to increase the support of rehab for people that hit rock bottom. Now I am not encouraging people doing drugs, but it is a reality that people are doing drugs in a very abusive manner without any type of supervision from anyone. I believe it will benefit the society a great deal if they would tried to acknowledge the problem rather than hiding it in the dark as a taboo. It won't help anyone quit drugs, but a legalization can safe more lives by keeping track of the people that is doing drugs.
