Ooooh, is this thread not locked yet? Welcomesite - some of what you say is true, but what would the pushers and the smugglers and the dealers and the rest of them do if class A drugs were legalised? They wouldn't suddenly become law abiding and get a 9 - 5 job, they'd turn to something else, something likely worse. And the junkies would still have to find the money from somewhere... Johnny_Q - had a bad experience with a drug in your youth, mate? There are 10,001 different illegal drugs, some worthless, some harmless. Legality of a particular drug rarely has any connection with that drugs ability to harm or corrupt or addict. You can't just group all illegal drugs and condemn them as devil's work, and everyone who does not share your view as evil or weak minded. So don't hold forth in a self righteous manner until you have some idea of what you want to say and can say it without being insulting.
