So if you want crack legalized, why not make arguments about how much better crack is than alcohol or tobacco?

My argument for relegalizing crack is that by doing so we'd reduce the following effects of criminalization: deaths of innocents in drug-turf wars; deaths of users due to impurities or unexpectedly high potencies; enrichment of criminals; corruption of the justice system by enriched criminals; and lessened respect for the law in general.

Not to mention upholding the principle that adults should be free to make their own non-rights-violating choices (even if the choices they make are stupid).
