I think our position on the use of canabis is clear, but what about hard drugs?
On the internet I found a very interesting article about the possible use of hard drugs in medical applications.
www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/hemp/medical/meduse.htm
For example cocaine, derived from the coca shrub erytroxylon. This drug is used for more then 1000 years by the local population of Peru and Bolivia in medical applications. Here it is a standard remedy for toothache, ulcers, rheumatism, asthma and even malaria!
Another example, the amphetamines such as Benzedrine which was first synthesized in 1887. This drug can be used in many medical applications such as narcolepsy, weight loss, depression, and for people with an attention deficit disorder.
Finally there is the large group of psychedelic drugs like LSD. these drugs can help cure derpressions, alcohol abuses and can be very useful for terminal patients.
I think these hard drugs may be very useful in a purely medical applications. But what would be the consequences for the legalization of hard drugs, because I believe we can not compare hard drugs with cannabis, or what do you think about this subject?

Drugs should be legalised for the use in medical applications. 
Legalization of hard drugs will not happen in my point of view because people percieve hard drugs as an inacceptable damage. This is caused by the use of harddrugs as a partydrug which leads to catastrofal overdoses. Alcohol is well discussed in this country but drugs are still a taboo. I think that lots of children and elderly don’t know what the effects of (hard)drugs are and especially: how to use it safe? I believe there will be less incidents when people have been told all the benefits and side-effects of drugs.
When you read this article, hard drugs have proven their beneftis. The thing is that you just have to use it the right way and for the right purpose!
As well hard drugs as soft drugs can be applied in medical applications if the follow up and administration happens appropriate.
But before thinking about it, a lot of research has to be done. I believe that there are advantages but the side-effects remain decisive. When the government is willing to “pay” for the research, a break through is possible.
