Well, what 'bad' drug are we talking about? Pot? E? Smack?

What has not been said is that all the 'bad' drugs that you are talking about started out legal, but then were made illegal.

As an example, opium and it's derivative heroin, were legal for a very long in the East and West (you could buy heroin over the counter in a drug store). As governments saw the devastating effects these two drugs had on generations of people THEN they made them illegal.

So if you want to know what would happen if these drugs were made legal again, just open up your history books, or alternatively, pick a drug and find out what does happen in those parts of the world where they are still legal.
