Legalization isn't politically viable, though, for obvious reasons.


Why, if you legalized drugs, five year olds would be mainlining Heroin they bought at the 7-11! Religion plays a big factor in our laws on drugs. The movies, starting out in the 30s, show the evil of drugs. And we have the Government claiming that all people who take drugs become addicts.
