S1E6: Should Recreational Drugs Be Legal?

For as long as we’ve been alive, human begins have sought to alter their consciousness by indulging in substances we no call recreational drugs. Some use them as an escape, some think of them as nothing but a good time, some use them to treat various illnesses, and some have their lives utterly destroyed by them. Most recreational drugs are currently illegal. Should they be legalized?

I’ll tell you what I think; just remember - I could be wrong.
