Right, but your statement is not based on any facts. There's no factual data(feel free to prove me wrong) that indicates anything like this would occur. I can certainly tell you that every person I have asked the "if Meth were legal, would you do it?" question has said "no". Therefore, there's hardly any reason to entertain your hypothetical situation unless you can somehow show me that it has merit.I'm not arguing against legalisation per se, just the whole idea and blanket statements that it is their body and they can do what they want so therefore it would be fine if a quarter or third of people had raging heroin addictions.
What you are essentially saying is that if methamphetamine were legal, we COULD have a quarter or third of the population with an addiction to a hard drug. Hell, by that logic we should outlaw all toxic substances. Can't have everyone waking up in the morning and eating chlorine tablets, now can we? But it COULD happen.
