Narcotics are a scourge upon this Nation.The only way to eradicate this problem is to take care of it the way they did from 1776-1913.

Too bad. Drugs laws creates criminals. Didn't we learn anything from prohibition?

Drugs are declared legal or illegal based primarily on who benefits from their manufacture, distribution and sale.

Corporate and government profits determine the legality.

Prescription drugs kill more Americans each year than all the crack, meth, and heroin deaths combined. So what is the deal?

Alcohol is a drug that serves no medicinal purpose as well as tobacco yet these are not illegal. There is way too much tax revenue involved.

The war on drugs is a sham and an unwinable war. Just make them legal and give us back our tax dollars. I'm not worried about legal drugs because 75% of the U.S. population is on some form of legal drug. Adding a few more drugs isn't going to bother me. What it will do is lower crime rate and empty out the prisons of non-violent offenders.
