Reply #82: they sell them controlled thru pharmacists... [View All]

NONE of them would be interested inselling coke, heroin, meth, or other deadly drugs over-the-counter.

I agree with the british model- but you said that all drugs should be legalized.
that's a MUCH DIFFERENT situation than having them distributed thru clinics and pharmacies w/ a prescription.

also- in regard to the "hundred plus years in our nations history when drugs were legal"...
during that time, there were no automobiles for drugged-out zombies to go zooming around in...
it was a much less industrialized/technological society, where addicts were much less likely to hurt themselves or others.

as far as what is better for "society", keeping addictive lethal substances illegal or controlled is FAR better in today's world. full legalization of these type of substances would be a nightmare.

let me ask you this- do you think that frat boys should be able to go to the grocery store to stock up on roofies for the weekend?
