Contradictory I'm half with Radar on the drugs. Frankly I think the best thing that could happen to the world would be the legalization of all substances. Firstly, you'd wipe out more than half of crime and most of the major crime syndicated overnight. Poof, there goes the big 3 cartels in mexico, most of the triads, most of the mafia operations, most of all the iron triangle shit. Secondly, you can't treat people who are living outside the law effectively, they become extremely vulnerable and as we have well seen, tend to go downhill very rapidly. Whether it's possible to be a recreational user of something like heroin I don't know and I don't intend to try (bad enough on the smokes - see hinterland for that thread) but even is some can, most won't. Good luck arguing that all drug addicts would not be addicts if the stuff was legal. The way I see it if they get it along with mandatory counseling etc it's the best possible outcome for society.
