I promised myself I wouldn't post on this thread again. Oh well. Would you mind posting a copy of that paper on here? I've always wanted to see a well thought out persuasive essay on it. Especially from a student perspective. One of these days, I'll get around to asking ym friend for his paper on "illegalizing" it. Then we can compare. and it's not about quanity of sources, it's about quality. Also, even though I'm adamently against drugs, I agree that tossing the papers is close minded. At the very least, read the paper. Then formulate an opinion. I hate that people assume that I'm close minded simply because I actively diss drug use/users As long as I'm here, I'd also like to comment on that chart. I also believe ecstacy would be much more dependent, and even much more damaging considering it melts literal holes in your brain. Cocaine is rediculously addictive as well. As far as I know Heroin should be a bit lower, but I haven't looked to into herion. Look up your facts pal.
