Such as one of the reasons that people do crack is because it is illegal. They like the rush they get when they do something "bad". but if they were to make crack and pot legal whose to say that their wont be a rise in Opium because its illegal?

A lot of the drugs that are really bad are banned, but I think we could do without Alcohol and Nicotine. However, that's not gonna happen anytime soon and it would be a stupid move of the government to try that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not believe it is likely that those two will cause any more deaths than Alcohol/nicotine do on a daily basis. I think people are better off being addicted to something that takes them away from perceived reality for awhile, rather than addicted to nicotine and alcohol, which all too commonly lead to an early death.

I'm glad for now those drugs are banned. But Nicotine is the most addictive drug in the world and Alcohol kills more. More than 2/3 of all household disturbances are linked to alcohol. I got this stuff from my teacher, so correct him if he's wrong. But statistically, Alcohol is the worst 'drug' out there. And smoking isn't good either. But like I said, neither of those are going anywhere anytime soon.

Of course if you really want to roast the living fuck out of your brain, then yes, those who are stupid enough will, but when used for medicinal, or occasional recreational purposes, the harm is outbalanced in the trade-off. Unless you have an extreme addiction, nicotine and alcohol are going to do more harm. But marijuana and LSD are not chemically addictive anyway. Plus, there are things in the world that are more harmful to your brain/body anyway. Take AP lit for example. It has mind-bogglingly horrible effects on sanity and general well-being.

The high you get during your duration on LSD is countered by a severe defficency of dopium on the brain. This always leads to depression, in some cases, even long term depression. What better way to feel better than to take it again? The thought process is what make these drugs dangerous. That, and most of these drugs are made from common house hold chemicals and poisons. That an propane. Honestly, who wants to pump that stuff into your veins? Not me. That's just dumb. I brought home my Psycology binder today to work on my brain project. Want me to give you some stats?
