The federal government does not need to do anything, no taxes, no regulations, nothing, just end all federal drug laws, and parole all those on federal drug charges.

The states can do whatever they want to, we still have states and dry counties where alcohol and drinking is regulated at the local level.

And notice that this way makes much more sense? If you don't like the way your town runs it's drug or alcohol policy? Well, you can always move to the next one, or at least do your partying in the next town. Plus, it treats the town or city as an extension of the individual, allowing associations of people to choose to live the way they see fit.

It also allows for an easier shift in policy. If the town's current policy isn't working, then the voters will be able to change it much more quickly and effectively than with the federal government.

Much better than a nonsensical nationwide policy.
