i'm fricken out of it

As for other, harder drugs, although I would never touch them myself, I'd still be open to decriminalization. Jailing and prosecuting people for a victimless crime is an enormous waste of money and time. The "War on Drugs" has been going on for decades, wasted billions of the taxpayer's money, and hasn't gotten us anywhere. Not to mention jails are crowded with million of non-violent drug offenders (America has the #1 incarceration rate in the entire world). It's simply an inefficient and wasteful policy, in dire need of reform.

Hard drug use is NOT a victimless crime. The continued demand for these drugs is what drives the drug market, NOT efforts to eradicate them. Therefore, all the ills associated with the drug trade are the responsibility of drug users, without whom dealers would have no power.

Also, if you really think it's a victimless crime, you only need to see what it does to people in areas where drugs are rampant. Families and lives are destroyed wholesale, even from the 'simple' use of the stuff. And I won't be hypocritical, alcohol is just as responsible for death and broken homes, but it is far easier to control than hard drugs. Hard drugs are totally destructive and there's no way they should be decriminalized.
