The Fallacy of Legalizing Illicit Drugs

Here's a good rant about the subject.

My sentiments, exactly.

Of course, I doubt those who advocate legalization are capable of thinking about the fuller ramifications. Their brains are probably addled by drugs already.

Just as alcohol and tobacco are "controlled" substances, all control does is open up opportunities for bootleggers and smugglers to prey upon, oh, say, more and more of our young people, ruining their lives before they are even out of their teens. No, "legalizing" this stuff doesn't make crime go away.
