Too bad it destroys so much of one's mind and our social fabric.

Hmm, like those fully legal substances tobacco and ethanol? You need to prove that it "destroys so much of one's mind" and also do well for social fabric. Bummer not everything can be peachy keen, but it doesn't justify prohibition, if anyone's thinking that.

How does this justify prohibition? You're afraid that if it is legalized, pot-use will grow out of control? Drug abuse will always be around with recreational drugs, but last I checked, it was easier for a teen to get a bag of weed than a packet of cigarettes. I don't doubt an inititial increase in the numbers of marijuana-use reports, but I think it would likely be amongst adults and would have an overall positive effect on society. I think marijuana should have minimum age restrictions, perhaps around 16. I think 16 would be the most effective at reducing underaged pot smoking. I do think we should do _something_ to present obstacles to underaged drug use, but straight out illegalizing substances will have the opposite effect, I think.

One of my best friends died on that shit, because some effin shadey piece of shit rave kid cut his shit with heroin

All right, I'm only aware of one pill on ecstasydata that recently tested positive for heroin and a lethal heroin dose would be much more than what is likely to be found in a pill. Your friend probably died because of other reasons, but MDMA has been extremely safe in therapeutic settings with professional supervision.
I say it should be legal. The basis for the prohibition of marijuana is racist and the substance itself is incredibly safe and less addictive than tobacco and ethanol.
