It's a shame because the law results in mostly black and other poor folk being incarcerated. Think of how many congressional leaders' kids are in the slammer or have criminal records for smoking pot...., zero is the word I'm looking for. Don't think that they don't smoke.

"Wouldn't making drugs legal result in more people getting wasted?"

That's not the case in the netherlands where it is legal... In fact, the mortality rate from overall drug use is lower there because people learn how to use recreational drugs responsibly. ie ecstasy. No one dies there from using E, but they sure do here.
