First off, I don't have problems with people using drugs. I choose not to do them, but if other people do, thats their choice, for better or worse.
When I do have a problem, is when their personal choices spill over into other people's lives. Drugs effect much more people than just the user. My father smokes marijuana and my mother is a chronic alcoholic, and both of those factors have been major inhibitors in my life.
Think of the drunk driver who gets in an accident and kills somebody else. Is that a victimless crime?
I have seen drugs and alcohol tear many families apart, almost my own.
I say, all or nothing is the most logical way to go about it. Either have everything from alcohol to opiates to crack to ecstasy legalized, or have none of it legal. Because of different people and different situations, it's impossible to say which drugs have the least adverse effects on the body and on our society, which is "least" bad.
