For a long time I was against legalizing hard drugs. I have always thought pot should be legal even though I only smoke it about every 3-4 years. But the more I see how much money we waste fighting a drug war we can never win the more I think we could probably take 10% of that money and it would deal with the addicts that having it all legalized would create.
I happen to think the free market would actually control rampant drug abuse. Take my brother for example. He works in a construction field and they do some stuff on roofs and scaffolds and big ladders. If there is any injury at all on the job site everyone there has to take a piss test. If you come back positive you are suspended without pay for 30 days. 2nd offense is 90 days and 3rd is you are fired. Many companies would still drug test to get job so if you wanted to work for any of these companies you would have to avoid the stuff.
