No. However, I would like Mj to be legalized.
The problem with hard drugs is people overdose. And they never know when to stop. Especially when you are addicted.

Possession of small amounts of cocaine should be legal, but it should not be legal for drugs that could potentially kill you quickly (like a few months at most). Sale should be illegal for all.

This. Best to do would be to adopt a policy like Portugal.

The problem I see is not whether or not a drug might kill you, but whether or not the drug might lead you to cause harm to another.

It might be an approach worth trying -clearly the fact that they are illegal isn't doing us any favors, is it?

I favor decriminalization, but not legalization for the usage hard drugs.

     Indeed. PCP is known to cause people to behave violently, so I have some misgivings about legalizing that.

The government shouldn't be in the business of regulating what one can put into their body. So, yes.

Pretty much this. Something like the Pure Food and Drugs Act would be good for dealing with it. Also, there should be a 15p tax on them.

And you're one of the most conservative posters on here... just goes to show how out of touch the government really is.

I was going to post something similar to this.

Cocaine and the opiates should be.  They are too easily produced so all criminalization with our current level of penalties does is put money into the hands of organized crime and terrorists.

Maybe if there were a death penalty for users, the demand could be curbed, but I do not expect to see nor would I support laws that were that draconian.

The amphetamines are too useful for us to be able to successfully halt their diversion into recreational use or conversion into the methamphetamine.
