Sorry to derail this from mockery of a drug dispensing mom, but where did you find this "fact" that trying meth once alters you permanently?
Depends on the dosage. AMphetamine does have neurotoxic properties and with high enough concentrations a single dose can be lethal. Slightly lower dosages shoot your blood pressure through the roof and cause strokes. Below that meth plays merry hell with nerve terminals and can cause permanent damage to dopamine and serotonin receptors.

I have no idea if the typical recreational dose is enough to cause nerve damage or small scale strokes, so it could be BS. I mean ANYTHING in high enough dosage will eventually kill you; even oxygen, sugar, or water.
As to sexual enhancement, from what I've heard, there is zero enhancement, just extraordinary staying power; i.e. an eight hour fuck session without cumming.
Clinical studies go all over the place, even in lose dosage prolonged use can cause impotence. You are dicking around with some very intricate parts of the brain and doing so with a sledge hammer, it might not better sex, you might just have a flucuating libido.

Meth is to cocaine what beer is to Everclear.
Meth is for morons. If you want to get high there are a dozen better drugs that don't show measurable degradation of nerve terminals.
for drugs that make people aggressive it could be mandatory that they´re only consumed at home.
Yes and for drugs that cause permanent brain damage, impairing such skills as decision making? Your brain is not static, you can burn parts of out and have the damage show up in clinical procedures.

Argueing about marijuana is one thing, argueing that all drugs should be legal is another.
and you can tax the drugs and put this money into anti drug campains or rehabilitation.
Oh please. Probition does decrease use, the societal costs of having people who are taking hard crap is going to be more than you can ever recoup in taxes. And don't give me crap about taxing the habit into oblivion beyond a certain point excessive taxation just leads back to the black market.
drug addicts should be treated like the sick people they are, not like criminals.
Which has squat to do with legalizing drugs. At best this is a poor arguement for decriminalization of drug use. When a person suffers from chronic lead poisoning the solution is to get rid of the frikking lead, you don't tax them for lead consumption.

Besides what about drugs like GHB and Rohypnol? Making them easier to come by makes it gratiutiously easier to use as date rape drugs.

Like most blanket policy's this one just doesn't cut it.
Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.
