Drug use in America is in its infancy. Some people still remember when marijuana, cocaine, and heroine were still legal. At some point, alcohol was also illegal (not consumption, just production and transportation). So what I'm trying to say is that quite possibly sentiments towards drugs will change.
Most, if not all, top economists believe drugs should be legalized and taxed. Drug users have been shown through tests to be FULLY RATIONAL. There is some propoghanda to suggest otherwisse, but tests show differently. Because people are rational and because the government can lower the usage of a "vice" through a tax while increasing its tax revenue, economists support legalization.
