Prohibition repealed?

[shmike]

The overwhelming sentiment on the board seems to call for an end to the War on Drugs.

I think most people want marijuana legalized but aren’t so sure about the “harder” substances.

I’d like to see how everyone thinks it would work and what exactly they mean by “drugs”.

Do we allow any and all drugs into the country or only certain classes?
Whom or what would regulate the substances?
What impact would these regulations / regulators have on the current drugs (pharmaceuticals)?
Would cases of addiction rise, fall or remain constant?
How would addicts (now) be handled / treated?
What other costs / benefits do you see being associated?
