Cocaine and heroin are both physically addicting - that means the body become dependent upon them. This differs from pot which is only psychologically addictive not physically. Furthermore no one, no one is going to die just from sparkin a dube. However, trying cocaine or heroin can and has killed many who just tried it out of curiosity. Additionally, once addicted to either of the harder drugs requires, in virtually all cases, other drugs to break the physical dependency. Another difference from pot.
Legalizing either of these would increase the drug related deaths and addict exponentially. Then again, that would reduce the number of users and therefore reduce the number of addicts. Hmm - At what cost is this scenario acceptable?
