Just legalize drugs and you can put drug traffickers out of business without firing a shot.

You'd think the Prohibition era would have taught America a thing or two about trying to control people's personal choices through government mandate.

It doesn't work, and only serves to create black markets and criminal empires.

OK, decriminalize it. Then when a substantial number of those who partake freely have toked themselves into unemployability, it will be declared a disease and they'll go on SSI disability. Then we non-druggies end up paying for their BEHAVIOR. How will we handle that?
