t legalize drugs the costs are

 

            It's all about usage of illegal drugs and how many are dying because of .
             these drugs the author is focusing on legal usage of alcohol and .
             illegal usage of drugs. What he's trying to say is if we make all the illegal .
             drugs legal and just put some restriction just like we have on our .
             alcohol usage maybe that would lower the percentage of using illegal drugs .
             such as marijana, coke etc. and if drugs ever are legalized they will .
             be dispensed as alcohol.
             So it seems reasonable to conclude that at least four to six million .
             people will become potheads if marijuana is legal, and that coke addicts .
             will number somewhere between 8.5 million (if regular usage doubles and .
             70 percent become addicted) and 42 million.). The number of people .
             abusing legalized drugs will come close to those hooked on alcohol. A .
             pessimist would figure the human damage as much greater. 115 million .
             Americans who consume alcohol, 85 percent rarely become intoxicated; with .
             drugs, intoxication is the whole idea.
             As you all know alcohol consumption in the United States averaged 2.6 .
             gallons per person per year. It fell to 0.73 gallons during the .
             Prohibition decade, then doubled to 1.5 gallons in the decade after repeal, and .
             is now back to 2.6 gallons. So illegality suppressed usage to a third .
             or a fourth of its former level. At the same time, incidence of .
             cirrhosis of the liver fell by half. Also by making this entire illegal drug .
             legal won't lower the percentage of human life wasting each year but .
             maybe its help in other way to lower the usage of illegal drugs. So there .
             seems no alternative but to keep drugs illegal and to fight the .
             criminals who traffic in them. Regardless of what legalization advocates would .
             say about it.
