Oh my god.
I agree with southside 100% on something.

Before I start, I have never taken any illegal drugs, and would not begin if they were legalised.
Some of the people on here just parrot opinions of the Media without thinking them through.
Alcohol is without doubt the most damaging drug in human existence, no matter what criteria you choose.
Most deaths.
Most accidents.
Greatest cost. (NHS and lost work days)
Most families wrecked.
Most murders.
Most abuse. (who ever heard of someone on the weed beating their wife?)
You people are just unwilling to think about it because it would entail critically looking at your own behaviour from the past. ie flying pissed/hungover which you have all done.
Small minded hypocrits.
Nobady should fly or work near or on aircraft under the influence of any drug including alcohol

But legalise the lot. It will make no difference to the amount consumed, but will rid the world of the scum who sell them. It will also be taxable to support the NHS which deals with the inevitable problems(just like booze) There will be a lot less deaths from dodgy mixed drugs and poor quality control/concentrations
