Do you really want to have that many more people driving cars down the road stoned? It is bad enough as it is.
Wow... faulty logic FTL.
No, by legalizing these drugs, you are making them mainstream and making access to them all that much easier. Think about it, these drugs are illegal and access is restricted to the black market. Make them legal where you can buy them over a counter and it will increase the number of people who will missuse them. Alcohol is the perfect example. I would wager to bet that during prohibition that drunk driving was substantially reduced. I don't want to get into the increase in illegal activity here either. By legalizing a drug and making it mainstream you are opening society up to greater ills than what we see now.
