as for the other drugs you mentioned, thats where it gets tricky for me. some people (and im not referring to you here) seem to be under this false impression that if the harder drugs were legalized that they would be everywhere and society would instantly collapse, which i dont believe at all. example: portugal.
I don't seen any reason why legalizing the harder drugs wouldn't have a similar effect to legalizing alcohol. Yes, alcohol was around during Prohibition. But in the years it's been legal again, it's had a more widespread and damaging effect on society than narcotics simply because of it's availability.
