Well, if you look at it in a kind of comparison to prostitution, it would be better off to be legalized. Personally I have no desire to do drugs, but I do feel that it would be better off that they be legalized. In areas where prostitution is legal, the prostitutes must have a license which states that they do not have any kind of STD and therefore it is legal for them to continue their work. Also, many teenagers see it as "cool" to break the law and so many might not start drugs if it was legal. Either way, if drugs were made legal, they could at least be used in a safer way.
