Legalizing drugs wouldn't fully address the issue, but it would give cops - both good and bad - fewer reasons to descend on people's houses, and thus less of an opportunity to make mistakes.

As would legalizing murder, rape, smuggling, extortion, money laundering, etc. Catch my point.

So what part of "cops would still have to enter people's homes in response to domestic violence, child porn, fugitives, etc." in my last post didn't you get??? Are you seriously comparing murder and rape to drug use? With a straight face??

I got your point but you simply can't compare smoking a joint or some kid selling a quarter ounce of pot with murder and rape. If drug prohibition was ended so called "drug crimes" would mainly be victimless crimes. Sure it sounds like we're giving up on a portion of the population but personally I don't think it's worth what we're spending on trying to save these people from themselves. Not to mention what the WOD has cost us in constitutional protections and freedom.

The only real cure for drug abuse is education that we can't afford while we're busy supporting this industry that basically preys on people's weakness. Make no mistake about it the WOD supports the criminals because without it they would have no incentive to be in this business.
