what would the legalization of drugs change though? it wouldn't make more people use them, though there would be a jump at first, but drugs are easy to find now, what is stopping someone from using them now?
legalizing drugs would bring in revenue for public services as they would be taxed. it would limit/reduce the underground market of drug dealing which promotes and encourages abuse, prostitution, crime, murder, etc. and it would allow the gov't to monitor and regulate drug development companies, who would need special licenses, etc, much like alcohol and tobacco producers. with tobacco legal, how many illegal cigarette dealers and producers have you heard of? with alcohol legal, how many people still drink moonshine? with drugs being legal, the gov't could enforce standards so that they are safer and not as hard, as they wouldn't be spiked or laced with other drugs or chemicals.
