They wouldn't have to legalize all drugs, but the penalities for possession really need to be lessened; the fact that you can get more jail time possessing drugs than killing someone is really the system out to get people.
Funny how the country does not care about the health of their citizens and would willingly let people die if they can't afford health care because their decisions got them there so the free market/force of nature/Sun God means their consequences are just, but the same issue comes with drugs and out come the massive state intervention because they really don't care that people are addicted to drugs, but it's gotta be the ones that the pharmaceuticals peddle out to the masses and thus approved and be money is to be made.
