Many drugs are delicious and good for you. They should be immediately legalized and freely distributed.
There are also drugs that will fuck you up fiercely. They should be immediately legalized so the government can regulate them.
This is such an astonishing no-brainer that I can't believe there's even a "drug issue" in this country.

Re: Where to draw the line
As soon as you start talking legalization, one of the first questions to come up is - "where do we draw the line?"
That's easy: don't.
However, if legalization of mind-altering or addictive substances really presents terrible legal problems, there've gotta be ways around them. We should sit down over a beer and a pack of cigarettes, and figure it out.

Re: Where to draw the line
Crystal Meth is not the same as Pot on a number of levels.
True. Doesn't mean a person shouldn't be able to fuck themselves right on up if they want to.
The manufacture of crystal meth has put a very severe strain on our emergency rooms and burn units (seriously, a large percentage of patients in burn wards are people who's meth labs have blown up).
Legalization would reduce the number of basement meth labs, just as legalization of alcohol pretty much wiped out backroom distilleries. The safety of manufacture is a reason to introduce the government control that comes with legalization.
