The streets are full of substance abuse tossers / winos already.
As I've said many times before .... freedom comes with responsibility (not to be leaches on society).
What are the costs now in police/customs/crime to fund it etc?
I lived in a drug cesspit in Bradford in the early 90s,and have first hand experience of how it affects a community.
There is no easy answer,but I'd say the costs of making drugs illegal outweighs those of legalization.Also it removes all the organized crime involved around the scene.

A very good point, veritas.
You could also argue that as most of these abusers die in the 40s anyway - we ought to give them as much as they want and speed up the process?

a fair point although we already treat drug victims-alcoholics- for free.
Considering that the illicit drug industry is the worlds' biggest criminal enterprise and cost governments billions in wasted funds combating human desire I think it would be cheaper to legalise, control the quality and so on. The cost of treating addicts would be a fraction by comparison.
