Cocaine, heroin, and meth were at one time legal in the United States. It did not work out that well.

I think if they want to decriminalize pot or hash they should do it like they have the law in Spain. Where it's illegal to buy or sell, use in public, drive while high, but if you want to use it in your home or grow a few plants that is legal if you are an adult.

Portugal has decriminalized drugs in that if you get caught instead of going to prison you go to rehab/treatment.
