all drugs should be legalized, and this has always been true. If you want to look at an in-depth reason as to why any drug, including heroin, should not be illegal, watch The Wire. the drug war benefits literally no one, the game is rigged. With that said, there was once a mayor of Baltimore that did an amazing thing-he ordered the police to round up all the mid level lieutenants, the guys who have the most direct control over the lower end employees that sell the drugs, and had them move all their people to one of four designated "free zones" where the cops wouldn't hassle them. District wide, he lowered crime by 4% in a month, which, historically ,is unprecedented.
The point i'm getting to is this-guess what happened after that? the press got wind, the ****ing Drug Czar shows up, and the mayor ends up losing the next election behind the epic ****storm that ensues. If there's an open air drug market for too long, federally, they get their panties in a bunch because its a geographical zone where a federal law is being completely ignored. We're an island far away from them, and it certainly is a backwards, idiotic way of doing things, but damn, I don't want to risk the feds coming down on Puna just so some 20 year olds can buy coke.
