In America, drugs and drug policy are currently one of the biggest issues socially and politically. And with Colorado and Washington having legalized pot, and states like California and Oregon looking to follow soon, the topic has been thrust into the spotlight. So flood, what do you think about drugs and their legalization?
Personally I support the legalization of all drugs. The 'war on drugs' has been a miserable failure, and an immense waste of money. Further it's created an entire class of nonviolent, victimless criminals, and diverted law enforcement away from much more important things. And when we look at Colorado, or the medical industries in stated like CA, it becomes obvious that we have nothing to lose, and all to gain.

i have no problem with the sale and use of marijuana. my problem is that there is no field test for sobriety for marijuana like there is for alcohol. marijuana does not effect people in a similar manner, nor is the level of intoxication relatively-linear like alcohol. one joint can affect two very similar people very differently. being so, if you test positive for marijuana while driving, you would have to be arrested for dui. until we have a better solution, i dont think it should be entirely legalized.
