I'm talking about medical drugs not narcotics taken for "mind altering" reasons. I also lean strongly towards legalizing the latter, but that wasn't what I was talking about.

People might be more likely to get fines or probation for using illegal medical drugs, esp. if they don't also have a narcotic or stimulant effect, but people could face prison, esp. for subsequent offenses. And doctors can get in trouble for writing prescriptions of pain medication even if they don't realize its being abused, or even sometimes if there isn't a serious indication of widespread abuse from their practice.
