Make all drugs legal. Tax them. Let Government regulate them. And nothing will change...

Finally, an affirmative action program that left-wingers can get behind!

Looks like the Affirmative Action programs have finally been realized.
Or, the judicial system is becoming more blind and treating criminals of all races more equally.
The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 will serve to further equalize the disparity between whites and blacks in prison.

If you think the tobacco lawsuits were messy, wait until you see the Meth lawsuits.

If they were really serious about the drug war, they would do it like Singapore, if you are caught dealing, death penalty. Until then, I know they really aren’t serious about it.

Maybe Meth users should organize. You know, they were once depressed about their life situation, and now because of the wonder drug meth, it makes them “feel” better. I know, “medical meth”!

I can just see the guy on death row for hacking 3 people to death suing “Big Meth” for a lifetime of pain and suffering.
I suspect that if you managed to shut down all the small time meth cooks and offer the business to a large pharmaceutical company, the company wouldn’t touch it based on the liabilities alone.

Put the government in charge of distributing them, like health care. They would cost five times as much but no one would have any.

If you think the tobacco lawsuits were messy, wait until you see the Meth lawsuits. I'm still waiting for the alcohol lawsuits. But I'm not holding my breath - brewers and distillers never claimed their product was free from health effects.

You got me - make all drugs legal, tax them nonexcessively, let government regulate them, and criminals will no longer reap hyperinflated profits but will be competed out of that market.
