I have a question for you TexasSeaRay. You are against the legalization of drugs that are currently illegal. OK, fine. Here are some stats and a question for you.

In 2000 there were 17,000 deaths from all Illicit Drug use.

In 2000 there were 85,000 deaths from Alcohol use.

In 2000 there were 435,000 deaths from Tobacco use.

Now, are you in favor of baning alcohol and tobacco in the United States. If no, how are alcohol and tobacco different than drugs that are currently illegal? Both Tobacco and Alcohol are mind altering substances and addictive, tobacco highly so. Yet millions of people enjoy both in moderation with a minority who have a serious problem with one or both.

Here is another thought, when was the last time Bayer and Pfizer got into a shootout on the street? When was the last time one tried to kill the CEO of the other company? They take their disputes to the courtroom and not the street because they are part of the legal market.
