What are your thoughts on the legalization of narcotics in the US? Should we do it or not? In your post, make sure to include the following:
1. Your answer to whether or not drugs should be legalized in the US. 1a. If you answer yes, which ones should be legal?
2. Two reasons supporting your opinion—why should they be made legal, or why should they continue to be illegal? (Note: responses in favor of legalization should focus on criminal justice implications as opposed to a personal desire to legalize for your own consumption…ie: don’t put “We should legalize so I can legally get high” as a reason).
In addition, to receive full credit for the discussion, you will also have to respond to at least one
