Personally, I think we, as a country, as making the wrong drugs illegal. Drugs like crack, cocaine, heroin and the like should totally be illegal. However, there are more deaths resulting from tobacco and alcohol than from pot or some of the other recreational drugs. The only problem is that by making certain drugs illegal it's like the "wanting what you can't have" syndrome. But in terms of consequences, I've seen more people do more harmful and stupid stuff after having a few drinks than after smoking a joint or 2. And we all know the effect tobacco has on people... cancers just being the tip of the iceberg. With alcohol comes DUIs, accidents, domestic abuse and other problems.

Basically, I think if you're going to make a drug illegal it should be the ones that cause the most harm to you and to others, or just make it all illegal or legalise it all.
