" However, I do not think the physically addictive narcotic drugs should be legal." I think that you would rather see such drugs never used for recreation. Laws have never slowed such use down. Can we afford to continue to pay for such massive failures? If such laws caused people to stop consuming, that would be one thing. But they don't. Such laws are trying to force a utopia (a drug free America) on the people of the United States. It can't work. No one can force utopia on someone else. And what is the cost for this bad idea? US citizens are being killed in the street. "I'm gonna stop you from drugs even if that means I put a bullet in you." While this method does get the user to stop, I think there is probably a better solution. It's not the "war on drugs." It's a war against US citizens that happen to use drugs.
