==Arguments for leagalization==
Whilst there are undoubtedly arguments against legalizing particular or all recreational drugs, there are arguments to the contrary.
*Crime. Some argue that the primary immorality associated with illicit drugs is the resultant drug-related crime. The cocaine industry is notoriously immoral, whilst a legal industry would almost certainly be far less so.
*[[Human Rights]]. It has been suggested that it is a human right to have access to recreational drugs, and that it is immoral of the government to prevent this. However, this argument is not without criticism. Drugs do impinge upon the lives of others, and if a drug is likely to result on this siginificantly, this argument becomes somewhat more dubious.
*Futility of criminalization. The laws on illicit drugs cannot be effectively enforced and drugs are easy to procure. When a law cannot be effectively enforced, it is of questionable merit. Also, since [[alcohol]] is a dangerous, legal alternative, people will turn to it instead, which is arguably no better.
