I Think Drugs Should Be Legalized

Without question the drug laws need to go, the harm from the black market and violence associated with the black market enabled by drug laws far outweigh the harm done by the drugs themselves. Societal pressures and medical intervention is more effective at controlling drug use. It is not like without the drug laws people would jump on the drug use bandwagon, there is still the pressure of being fired from your job because nobody wants to pay a stoner to work as well as other pressures to keep things in check. Just look at smoking, everyone used to smoke when I grew up and now very few do and that happened without a drug war against cigarettes.
