Do You Think Legalization Is Better Than Legalization?

I think it might be better than what we've been doing. To understand this issue, we have to go back to 1900 and to recognize that at the time that certain drugs were made illegal, other drugs were seen as a drug. The line that we drew back in the 1900s between legal and illegal drugs had nothing to do with the protection of public health. It was about first world drugs, first third world drugs. And what we're realizing now is that there's a tremendous price to pay in terms of lives lost by failing to regulate drugs that thousands of people have become dependent on.
