题目: Re:Legalization of "softer" drugs has worked in other countries, but politically unacceptable in many places.
Übergeek 바둑이: There are those of us who lobby for the legalization of such drugs in the US, but the "war on drugs" keeps it from happening despite the fact it is practical for many reasons to do so. Medical marijuana is helpful to dying patients. It is outrageous to put a dealer of such substances in jail for 10 years due to mandatory sentencing. Marjuana general use could carry a huge "sin tax", like cigerettes, to pay health care which people are crying about being too expensive. In other words, its stupid & inpractical not to legalize such dope; therefore, I agree with you strongly on this subject.
