Let's talk about drugs

Let's talk about drugs (in the U.S., specifically.) 

Pot should be legalized, that's a given. The other drugs though...it'd be hypocritical not to legalize them. Any negative attribute you could easily attribute to alcohol and/or tobacco as well. Let's list some of the arguments I've heard from people who want hard drugs to stay illegal:

-They are highly addictive (also applies to alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine)
-They can impair your ability to drive (also applies to alcohol)
-They can make you a danger to yourself (also applies to alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine)
-They can make you a danger to others (also applies to alcohol)


Now, all that being said, I believe that hard drugs shouldn't be legalized; just because some horrible substances are legal doesn't mean we should make more of them legal. I think we should only decriminalize them; I wouldn't really want to see stores selling meth.

But yeah, pot should definitely be legalized. Honestly, the only good argument against legalizing pot is that when the government taxes the hell out of it it'll be way more expensive than my current dealer.
