We live in a representative
republic. If enough people agree with you the law will get changed. But
since the laws are now that illegal drugs are illegal that tells me that the
population wants them that way.

That's overly simplistic. We want =other= people to be restricted,
while we =ourselves= are unrestrained. (Yes, that's overly simplistic
too, but illustrates the point). While we may live in a representative
republic, the distance between the voter and the lawmaker, on the
federal level, is vast.

I happen to agree with the majority on this one because I see
every day that pot and crack have a very negative effect
in the work place.

You put pot and crack in the same sentence. What do you see in the
workplace that has a negative effect, that is the same with pot and
crack (but not with alcohol), that does not derive primarily from the
illegality of the substance in question, and that cannot be addressed
through the expedient of firing people who don't perform?
