Even though I don't touch drugs (besides caffeine, duh) I tend to fall into the "legalize everything" category -- http://www.economist.com/node/13237193 http://www.economist.com/node/13237193 My general stance is pretty much aligned with the above article; that drugs should have never fallen under a crime and punishment policy, but rather all focus should have been placed on public health policy. While I'm not pretending for a second that drugs don't ruin lives and families, it's only doubling the damage to criminalize these people's choices with little chance for rehabilitation. This isn't even touching the political issues covered in the wonderful documentary The House I Live In http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2125653/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2125653/
