I've pretty much come down on the side of prohibition is bad. Yes hard drugs destroy lives, but many many many more are destroyed by socially acceptable drugs like alcohol and nicotine.
We live within societies where the way we control substances creates a huge social and financial cost.
We'd be better off legalising every drug and creating a social framework within which these drugs can be taxed, consumed safely, and users supported.
Case in point is the legalisation of cannabis which I hope is a stepping stone to legalisation of all recreational drugs.
