Im not addressing pot. Im addressing the ridiculous notion that has been stated several times in this thread (by people with no real clue as to what these drugs are capable of) that heroine and crystal meth should be legalized and cheap and made available to all who simply demand it.

I agree, I think the war on drugs could be fought in a much different and better way. It almost seems like it is being run by people who likewise have no real life experience with various drugs and their effects.
