"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 Wire was a TV show, an excellent one I'll grant you, but that's all it was. Basing real life on a TV show tends to carry little weight and if it did we'd probably all be living in some sort of utopia like Star Trek portrays. I'm OK with making marijuana legal and treating it just like alcohol, but I have a very hard time picturing a successful community where meth or heroin is acceptable, let alone legal.
