Really, Xerxys.... Go and research prohibition. The 18th ( ? ) ammendment?
Making things illegal, particularly drugs, for which there is demand is an incredibly bad idea.
I'm 100% against smoking. I'm 100% against heroin for the same reasons. I drink, MUCH less than in the past, but have to say that removing alcohol from my life is a goal.
I think they should all be widely legal, under different regimes, for exactly the same reasons as alcohol was made legal again in 1930's US.
