The main differance between Prozac and heroin is actualy down to distribution.
At the turn of the (last) century, you could have bought aspirin and heroin at the corner shop for aprox 25 cents per gram in america....this is from my own reasearch i had to do for the end of my year. Today, heroin is $50 a gram, and its illegal.
The profits from this are so huge that drug dealers are willing to risk their lives and kill each other for such a lucrative market, and it is because of this that making drugs illegal makes a problem! It funds all those things that we want eliminating, like terrorism, gun industry, etc.
exactly, some drugs are legal despite being no less potentially harmful. Simply a demonstration of the rulers throwing their weight about. They'll allow addiditives in food that'll ensure we stay on the planet for less time, but I can't get any opiates, heck, I probably can't even get codeine without a prescription.
You used to be able to order heroin and syringes from Sears 😖
The first anti-drug law was one that said you had to have "marijuana stamps" to have it in your possession, but you couldn't get the stamps unless you had it in your possession, in which case you were already in violation of the law... So it was basically impossible to get the stamps, and it may as well have just been illegal. I don't know where that came from, I just think it's interesting.
All drugs should be legalised for the simple reason that no human has the right to tell any other what to do or what not to do with their body.
Drug related crime would be significantly cut down due to them not being illegal, for a kick off.
Also, one of the main reasons they're illegal is coz they're dangerous. If you take drugs, get carried away and/or dive into drug use without researching what you're taking and you die, then it's your own fault. Don't chop everyone's freedom down to size on the strength of your ineptitude.

but what you don't get is that their looking at what might happen in the future if drugs become legal, which would be a bad thing, that is obviously seen.
anyways there would be no drug related crimes if people would obey the law and stop taking drugs *ahem* 🙄
but then again people are stubborn and ignorant 👆

Ignorance is to blindly follow authority.

Yeah and the law was created by others who have no right on Earth to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body. Like Bill Hicks said:
"What business is it of yours who or what I drink, smoke, inject, ****, eat, say or do as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet? None of your ****ing business is the answer."
Which is exactly right. There are people who WILL hurt others through drug related violence. But there's people that kill others completely sober. So......yeah.
