I generally feel drugs should be legalized so they become dirt cheap, as long as there is a massive public education program to teach people why not to use them. My main reason for legalization is the elimination of the lucrative and illegal drug trade that leads to so many people being killed.

My dad suggests that drugs should be sold in grocery stores in the rat poison aisle, to try to get people to think twice.
You really think this is going to prevent hormonal, peer pressured teens to not smoke it all the time? I think the intelligence levels of people would drop rapidly. I could smoke it all the time if I wanted, but to be honest it's not my thing. Just because it's illegal doesn't stop people who want to smoke it from smoking it.
