Legalize Drugs ??

So, Oxycotin is legal and handed out like M&Ms leading to addiction and destroyed lives but Pot is evil and has NO beneficial uses ??
I don't use marijuana but I do believe that it should be legal. It is blatantly obvious that the "War on Drugs" has been a total disaster !! It has led to MORE drugs on the street, more violent crime (so addicts can pay for their fix), the extreme violation of civil liberties, the erosion of Constitutional rights, the vast expansion of law enforcement, corruption at all levels, and so much more.
It has led to the U.S. having one of the highest incarceration rates in the World. Per the Dept of Justice, in 2011 6,977,700 adults were under correctional supervision (probation, parole, jail, or prison) in 2011 – about 2.9% of adults in the U.S., the vast majority for drug crimes. What good has this brought us ???  Drugs are more prevalent than ever and TRILLIONS of dollars have been flushed down the toilet on the "War on Drugs". It (like Prohibition before it) will be seen in the future as one of the worst fiascoes ever.
