I have a much more radical view on this subject. I believe all drugs should be legal, produced by taxable companies, and sold under the same laws as alcohol. Right now it is easier for an underage person to get their hands on drugs than alcohol. My drug dealer has never checked my ID. Take all of the tax money made on these drugs and use it for education against drugs and rehab centers. People who disagree with me often say that the legalization of hard drugs would lead to the degradation of society. My reply is, I would not smoke crack if it were legal. I buy weed now, so I am not afraid of the legal aspect of attaining drugs, yet I still don't do heroin, coke, or any other hard drugs, I only smoke pot. This would not change if all drugs were made legal. This would take away a huge black market, regulate drugs so you actually know exactly what you are taking, and provide tax dollars to open free rehab clinics for addicts. In a free society the only laws would be to protect people and their assets, drug laws exceed those criteria.
