Don't forget that the liquor industry also has a stake in keeping drugs illegal - as do the private prisons. On the other hand, there is something to be said for some type of coercion as a consequence of out of control drug use. Sometimes, addicts need that little bit of force to get clean - although a better form of it would be drug legalization and mandatory hospitalization when one goes from casual user to drug addict or alcoholic. Mandatory hospitalization for some would likely mean freedom for the many who are not addicts. I can't see either the useful idiots in Congress or the public at large going for legalization without such a step. Agreed.
