Interesting news for those in America.

I think they're stupid... >_> Drugs that harm the body should be kept illegal.

making small amount of drugs legal is going to help CONTROL drugs? Isn't that kind of counter productive?

Legalizing the harddrug ALCOHOL did miracles everywhere in the world! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, alcohol is an harddrug! You can even buy it in the supermarket! Does it cause any HUGE problems now it's freely available? Not that I know of!

Also, legalizing drugs is the best way to fight the drugs maffia. If they can't earn lots of cash with it, its no longer interesting to sell it they way they do (prices will crash like hell). Also, if you legalize it, you can control and contain it. You can help a lot MORE addicts to get rid of their addiction with more succes!

For example, here in The Netherlands, soft drugs are also (semi) legal. The number of drug crime related incidents dropped like a brick when this was implemented here!

Harddrugs are also freely available to addicts, although they are only allowed to use it under control of expert medics and only inside a hospital (they're not allowed to carry it onto the streets!!!), but again, it's FREE, that means, addicts dont have to go into crime to get the money to pay the drug maffia's insane prices.

Also, this way of legalizing drugs, is WAY WAY cheaper then declaring it illegal and let the police / military fight the maffia. It saves millions of dollars of the tax payers.
In the USA you would talk about saving billions of tax money...

I'm not saying everyone should use drugs, because they really HARM your body (look at some pictures of METH addicts on the internet, 30 year olds looking like 90 year olds... really, just dont do drugs...:X).

All I'm saying, legalizing drugs IS the best way:
- You save a LOT of tax payers money.
- It's the ONLY way you can seriously DAMAGE the drug maffia's profits.
- You can control drugs when they're legalized.
- Addicts can be helped in a MUCH better way.
- It already -proved- itself it worked VERY well with Alcohol...
