Compassionate use laws in Delaware
I believe that it's your body and if you want to put every drug in your body then do so!
As long as your drug use remains victim less, then I don't see a problem with it.
You also have to take in consideration, what would happen if every drug was legal?
First off, you have government regulation. Everything would have to go through an intense testing period before being available for the public. You would also have corporations that take over the production, so it would boost the economy and jobs. It would be a new market.
In turn it would take away the reason for organize crime to exist. Gangs would no longer be able to profit from drug dealing and they would have to find other avenues for profit. Gambling, robbery, pirating, prostitution, etc.
It could also be a bad thing for use, since the prices might go up. However, I doubt the taxes and profit of the legal drugs would exceed the risk markup on most drugs now. I'm not sure on that one.
Also the DEA spends TONS of money on drug enforcement to no avail. The spend years tracking a drug cartel and take it down and within a week another rival cartel has risen and taken over its terrority. It's a vicious cycle and there is no way to prevent it. As long as there is profit to be made, and demand for drugs. There will always be a black market.
So you have a choice. Allow the black market to profit off of death, killings, child labor, etc. OR legalize it and allow the government to regulate and profit off it.
The simple fact is, there will always be someone selling and making profit from drugs, you just need to decide WHO you want to be selling and making profit.
My ramblings...
