Legalization of drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and heroin often provokes intense disagreement among citizens as well as policymakers. Because legalization would create a market for these drugs, economists can provide helpful commentary based on consumer choice and demand.

Support for legalization does not divide easily along traditional political viewpoints. For a conservative group's argument see the Cato Institute at: https://www.cato.org/testimony/ct-dbz061699.html
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) discusses the issue at: https://www.aclu.org/criminal-law-reform
By contrast, the US Department of Justice argues against legalization at: https://www.dea.gov/pr/multimedia-library/publications/speaking_out.pdf
