All of them?
Some? (Which ones?)
None?

Bonus points for giving the reasons for your answer.

In my own home, if I want to put Chlorox bleach in my body, I should be able to unless I infringe on someone else's rights or safety somehow.

All should be legal within the confines of my own home.

*edit*

Someone with children lose that right until the kids are 18 or older.

Alcohol - It's too deeply rooted in western culture to simply do away with it (and I like it--a lot).

Marijuana - Because I guess we drinkers have to give some concession to druggies so that we don't feel hypocritical. And it is apparently a fairly benign drug.

Tobacco - but a total prohibition on the public use of lighted tobacco (second-hand smoke and all)

Everything else remains illegal. The effects of hard drug use are just too unpredictable.

Marijuana - it's virtually harmless when used responsibly, as opposed to alcohol and tobacco.


Mushrooms - they're a naturally occurring thing and are virtually harmless when used responsibly.


That's about it.

Herb should be legal.

All narcotic use should be decriminalized. We should shift our resources from the prison complex to the treatment complex. This will take no less than a few decades.

As there are few people that want to imbibe bleach, I consider that collateral damage to what will clearly end up being called an imperfect system... since there are no perfect systems.

Basically I think they all should be legal.

I also think there should also be incredibly harsh penalties for those conviced of DUI and the like while on these drugs.

If you are in your home and no one else is being harmed, the goverment has zero business telling you what you can and cannot do.

all of them...

-crime would drop drastically as the black market would crumble

-so would the drug cartels.

-prisons would have a lot more room for actual violent offenders

let people make their own choices on what they put into their body... if it's bad, they'll suffer the consequences.

The only drug that I know of that is completely illegal at the Federal level is marijuana, so lets start there.

I agree.
We are not doing ourselves any favors by protecting stupid adults from themselves and encouraging them to produce more stupid people.

All of them.

Trying to legislate morality is ridiculous.

Don't give me health care costs either. Incarceration costs are more right now.

Also if was about health, big macs and sodas would be illegal. Obesity related problems are worse than all the drug use in this country now.

All of them- customer must have either a high school degree or have reached the age of 18 to purchase, whichever comes first. Tax that shite and put proceeds towards voluntary rehabilitation/information programs.
