Drug Legalization

The issue of drug legalization has always been extremely controversial. Most people agree that drug-related crime and addiction are pressing social problems; they disagree on the solutions to the problems. Some think that a continuation of the current law enforcement efforts against drugs is the answer, while others argue for legalization of some or all drugs.
