I don't think drugs is a good comparison, Meat. All drugs, regardless of how harmful they may be, are harmful to one's self only. Even the really harmful drugs like heroin are worse being illegal, not just because of the crime that results, but also because often they are made in labs with carcinogens. Half the time you are probably not even getting the real drug, and something that is even more dangerous. At least if it was legalized and regulated, this problem would be eliminated, would free up a SHIT LOAD of tax dollars that are spent on 'the war on drugs' and the bureaucracy required to enforce it. People who really want to use that stuff are going to regardless, and I doubt legalizing it is going to making a lot of people want to suddenly try it. I cant speak for every person but I sure as hell have no interest in getting into any drug (not even weed), legal or not.
