   As the text you've deleted persuasively argues, the "disadvantages"   
   are largely illusory.   
      
   Is that so?  Well, let me see.  If you legalize the use of drugs, then more   
   people will use drugs.  We already know what happens with alcohol and   
   tobacco, so why do you think it would not happen with drugs?
