If something has the potential to be abused, humans will abuse it. Making it more accessible is simply going to lead to more abuse. We only need to look at our current economy for an example (credit abuse). The innocent (tax payers) are now going to pay the price. If drugs are leagalized, soon after we will be setting aside bail out money to help idiots recover.
Again, my only point is this.... if drugs are made legal a lot of innocent people will get hurt. I can see job security for me, but I'll be afraid for the wife and child. About two months ago I helped out with a scene where a 28 year old doctor was shot twice in the back and once in the neck by a "functional" drug addict. The addict may not be a violent person, but drugs can make you do some stupid sh#t.
Why would anyone want to live in a world with more crackheads is beyond me.
