Alcohol 'more dangerous than heroin'

[Loki_999]

Ok, I see the points being in favor of full legalization, still a problem came to my mind:

Children would be much more exposed to drugs, and keeping heroin in mind, an addiction on a child is worse than any indoctrination.

And the kids these days are not exposed to drugs? Every now and again you hear the stories of drugs being peddled in schools (a few years ago there was a scandal in my home town because some guy was selling drugs to the kids outside the school gates... a junior school FFS!).

In some school, especially city center ones you also hear about kids carrying guns (and i'm talking about England here, not he US - where guns are supposed to be quite difficult to get hold of). Spent a couple of hours once talking to a London schoolteacher about 10 years ago when on a train journey. She kept thinking about quitting because it was tearing her apart having to deal with kids carrying weapons to school, taking drugs, smoking, drinking, etc. And this wasn't some crazy old grandma of a schoolteacher. She was in her late 20's early 30's from what I could tell and seemed like a normal person.
