Bob:

"Legalizing drugs would eventually destroy our society which any thinking person has to realize."

Drugs (marijuana, cocaine, heroin) were legal in the USA until early this century. That's when the movement began to legislate morality (which is not the job of the federal or state governments). Thus drugs and alcohol were made illegal. Alcohol was later decriminalized.

Now the federal government wants to eventually make tobacco illegal and I predict, if allowed to, will attach criminal penalties to its processing or use.

During the century and a half that drugs were legal in this country the United States became one of the greatest nations on earth, as well as in history.

I would look more at almost fascist types of government organizations such as the DEA as being a greater danger to our society and our freedoms than drugs.
