No, you're trying to build a slippery slope when none exists. Legalization of the more dangerous drugs isn't "sure to follow" by any means. Few people understand the nature of the drugs we're discussing; marijuana isn't comparable to cocaine or heroin in its formation of addiction, potential for abuse, and potential for lethal overdose.
The government really doesn't have a right to better people's lives. Have we lost all sense of individual responsibility?
