Change of position - All drugs should be legal

[Minimalist]

I struggle with the idea of loosening markets to addictive drugs.

You mean like:

• Hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin)
  
• Oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin)
  
• Oxymorphone (e.g., Opana)
  
• Methadone (especially when prescribed for pain)
  

Each day, 44 people in the United States die from overdose of prescription painkillers.

Almost as bad as guns.

We have lost the drug war.  Time to surrender.  All that keeping it illegal does is make sure that it is highly profitable.
