Should drugs be legalized in the USA ?

the thing is you can't really have a honest discussion on why some drugs should be legal (and why others are not)  if you bring into the argument wether or not the drugs are illegal in the first place, in a discussion on the validity of making a drug legal or not, is just not relivant.  saying "it should be illegal because it's illegal, and others shouldn't be illegal because they are legal now" is just childish and illogical.

your argument seems to be that some drugs should be illegal (those that are illegal now), yet you don't want to talk about why they should be on the list and your drug of choice shouldn't.  it's a relivant question.

if your contention is that we should have certain drugs classified as illegal,  the obvious next question is which ones should be on this list and why?

You're logic reminds me of mine when my face used to be buried in a bong.

This may suprise you, but I'm not arguing anything...I have my opinion as you do....this thread was about legalizing illegal drugs, not about other drugs which are and have been legal for years.

The point I think you are missing is that most of the ills perpetrated on society by illegal drugs stem from their illegality, not their effects on the person.

I disagree....some are yes, but most?

Still, I catch your drift....don't agree with your solution, but understand your logic.
