Repeal Day Serves as Reminder of the Folly of Our Drug Laws
Interesting commentary regarding the issue of illegal drugs and whether or not they should be legalized. I'm kind of in the middle with this one. I think some illegal drugs do have some medicinal uses that could be adapted for patient care. However, I'm not convinced that legalizing drugs as a whole, would serve the greater good. I don't think this battle will ever go away.

I am caught in the middle of this one like you but I look at it a different way. In the case of alcohol and drugs; it is legal to drink and get drunk but it is illegal to drink and drive but how many accidents are there each year due to drunk drivers. I don't believe that all illict drugs should be legalized but just think of how much crime could possibly be prevented if some were. How much money our courts and government would save not prosecuting someone over something so minor. I believe there should be laws to control their use and such just like alcohol and cigarettes (which I believe are actually worse for a person than some drugs).
