    I'm all for legalizing certain drugs, such a marijuana.

    I'm also for decriminalizing small amounts of most drugs. I think it would reduce the number of people in our prisons who are sent there for petty drug offenses and end up becoming lifetime criminals because of the environment they are exposed to in prison.

    The argument could be made that taking some drugs causes you to lose your sense of reality and put others in jeopardy, but that could also be said of alcohol. I believe you should be held accountable for your actions when you take a drug, and you should be punished if you harm someone when you are high, but the law shouldn't be preemptive and make something illegal because of what it COULD do.

    I am not sure that I believe all drugs should be completely deregulated, though. Still, I think if we spent all of the money we waste of the drug war and invested it on educating people on drugs that most people would be smart enough to decide if they wanted to use them or not. Save the fines and prison terms for those who abuse drugs to a point where they break actual laws.
