Why legalise another product that's harmful to your health. It would only make the govt bigger hippocrates than they already are.

Of course it's not a perfect drug either. There are problems. Possible health effects, chance of addiction etc. But I am much more in favour of freedom in this case. People should be able to put whatever they want into their body as long as they don't harm anyone else. People should have that choice.
With health care costs spiraling out of control, legalizing another harmful product would put greater strain on our system. Educating the masses on how to better take care of themselves is a better option IMO.

I'm all for personal choice and all but what responsibilty for ones actions? The attitude seems to be , no problem, the health care system will be there when i need it.
