I agree with the way you are presenting it as a freedom. In some cases hard drugs could lead you to hurting others and personally I see why they are bad but I wouldn't be horrified over the thought of total legalization. I would like to add that recently John Ehrlichman, an advisor for Nixon, came out saying that the war on drugs was mainly a campaign technique used by Nixon to target blacks and hippies (his main campaign enemies). Sorry this got so long it's just like how fucked up is it that the main fight against all this had nothing to do with safety or well being but to target people that didn't agree with this one politician.
