Read "The Moral Sense" by James Q. Wilson. The guy makes a devastating critique of legalization of hard, addictive drugs.

I am a pretty libertarian person, I used to believe in the legalization of all drugs. This book totally changed my opinion, except in the case of marijuana and some hallucinogens. Wilson does not revert to moralizing but makes an explicit cost/benefit argument against legalization. Read it!
