Though I have strong libertarian tendencies, I don't think legalizing hard drugs would be a good idea. I think a distinction needs to be made. Crack, meth, LSD and heroin are really bad, and will ruin lives. Small amounts of pot, sold by Kraft instead of some kid are another story. Kids smoking pot and sitting around eating doritos and watching cartoons are safer than kids cruising around drinking beer and looking for a fight, or women, or both. Plus, legalizing all drugs would have some serious effects on doctors, pharmacists, etc... That would not be good for the nation.
Let's hear it for the pragmatic libertarians!
