Absolutely not.
The extreme reactions you feel are not should not be towards the person who was sellign the drugs. His market niche was created by the US government. His whole market was created by the US government when they decided to make the drugs completely illegal.
Drugs for recreational purposes should be sold from license stores, package stores, liquor stores, pharmacies, etc. and controlled by an ID check to verify that the purchaser is of age, in exactly the same manner as alcohol is sold.
The only way to keep drugs off the street is to keep drugs behind the counter. Prohibitions never work unless your goal is to waste government tax dollars in impossible enforcement efforts, to lose possible legal tax revenue, to waste money on maintaining prisons for offender, to lose social safety in turf wars.
There are more reasons that show how a prohibition is always the wrong action, but this topic depresses me.
