Here is what I wrote in my discussion board.
I would defiantly be against the legalization of any kind of drugs. and I chose this choice after thinking of all the reasons that might be really effective on the society after legalizing drugs. the first reason would be the economic situation for the drug addict himself, and the country as a whole. the second reason would be the mental health issues that might be associated with any kind of drugs even if it was the licit-normal drugs such as Advil. the third and the last reason, is that the drugs would affect the addict's social life if he/she was married, having children, or even his/her job!
Drugs may cost the addict's his life, and that's why I'm refusing the drug legalization no matter what. If anyone needed drugs as medicine, there will be professional doctors who can prescribe the right drug in specific amounts that fits the patient's needs.
