Great Britain experiemented with softening its heroin laws from 1959 to 1968. The result was that Scotland Yard had to double its narcotics squad just to keep up with the ever increasing drug related crimes

Interesting. What then explains the rise in drug use in the U.S. from 1959 - 1968?

Well, I could pick apart more of this but I hope that you guys get the point. There are a lot of good arguments that can be made against legalizing drugs. The author of this piece, however, wastes his time with opinion disguised as fact and other shoddy journalism.
