Early formal restrictions on drugs began as early as 1914 with the opiate trade. Since then, drug usage has swelled and ebbed in the United States.

    well, we all know that drugs are good and they are good for health and business. so they have to be legalized in the country for the benefits of the people especialy the rulling class and the youth.

    i want drugs to be legalized because some drugs like cigerettes its a source of income to the factory and the nation at large.

    TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION
