Crack came about AFTER cocaine was made illegal.
Yeah I know, I just don't think all hard drugs like crack, heroin and meth should be legal though. Cocaine maybe because I have known people who could hold down a job doing it, the other drugs not so much.
Heroin is already legal, it is called Oxycotin. It is legal for big pharma, but not the little guy. I had two friends become addicted to oxys, then start heroin because it was cheaper.
I think drug use should be decriminalized. The only thing the War on Drugs has accomplished, is wasting tax dollars, making drug lords wealthier, and creating more drug addicts.
I agree that the war on drugs has caused street dealers to become wealthy and caused our crime rates to soar because of wars over drug turf, I just don't know if legalizing stuff like meth and heroin would be good because I have seen first hand the effects those drugs have on peoples lives. If someone is addicted to drugs and needs a fix he will still kill/steal/ to support that habit whether it is legal or not.
