Cocaine isn't a drug which could be legalised, since it's so addictive that it's addicted users destroy whatever they touch. This is known.
Cannabis however is a different story........ but even then, the government would have to issue licenses to users, since only a % of people are able to handle consuming it.

Not really, I can probably write a book on why the War on Drugs is a stupid idea. Yes, you're right you don't "need" coke, but you don't need tobacco, alcohol, meat, ect... stupid argument filled with logical fallacies.
And speaking of market and death and misery... tobacco, the food corporations (65% of Americans overweight), alcohol; they all have a part in killing people. Example: 450,000 people a year die from smoking related deaths, and alcohol kills around 80,000 people anually. Technically, I think cocaine is a "soft" drug as is heroin. This is because it doesn't do much damage over time with responsibile use, unlike cigarettes which are addictive and have been proven to cause cancer. Heroin on the other hand has been researched as safe to use when used responsibly and not mixed with other drugs.
The best thing about your argument is comparing cocaine use to raping a child... can you say false analogy?
My best advice to you is to take a Critical Thinking class at a local community college, and they maybe you can stand up and debate me on issues. Until then, I suggest you research the topic, use facts, and stop using false analogies.
"destroy whatever they touch. This is known." Who knows this? They destroy everything they touch? I know people who do cocaine, and I have shaken their hand yet I'm still here. Do they make things explode or something? Do they stop society from functioning? How do they destroy things?
Research it, learn about it, and then talk about it when you're ready. Check out "Ethan Nadelmann" on youtube or google. He is a very intelligent man and speaks with rational thought. He is very realistic and knows what is going on.
PS: I don't use cocaine, but I think I should be able to if I wanted. I don't need the government to hold my hand and tell me what and what not to do; on the other hand, people like you do need to be babysitted by the government, and that is one reason why drugs are illegal.
