I guess my point was, it didn't make the situation better with alcohol.  I would suggest it made the situation far worse.   More broken homes, more children with alcoholic parents, more divorces, more families living under the economic burden of funding drinking habits, more wrecks and auto fatalities, and high insurance premiums due to paying for alcohol related accidents, lost jobs, domestic abuse and violence alcohol related and on and on and on...


Most people say it didn't work because of organized crime. Yet organized crime still exists, so how exactly did legalizing it 'work'?    It's a bit difficult for me to accept the idea that legalizing will make things better when I meet members of AA, and see the shattered lives, ruined families, destroyed careers, all because of alcohol.


So I don't think I want to see the devastation of legalizing drugs.  I've already met too many students in college spending every spare dollar on drugs.  Those kids are in the gutter now.   Perhaps the people you know are wonderful druggies that are still doing something with their lives.  That hasn't been my experience.
