So is tobacco.... (none / 0) (#18)

potential addiction is no reason to prohibit a substance.

I know people who can do a line or two on Friday night and not touch the stuff for months, I know others who can't do a line or two on Friday night without going on a 3 day bender.  Everybody is different.

I hear what you're saying and partially agree, but crack has been devastating to poor areas and Meth is starting to be as well. I don't think making it legal, increasing access, and making it cheaper, will help the problem.

but it sure would help the crimes associated with addiction problem.  And the prison problem.  And the tyranny problem.  

I hear what you're saying...addiction is nasty, no argument here.  I know all about it with an alcoholic in the family.  I just think the tyranny of prohibition is nastier.
