Who do you think pays to arrest, prosecute, and imprison drug users? And while they're in prison they aren't paying any taxes, guess who gets to make up the difference?

Which is a known entity.

And the solution is to set all the drugs free on society, and there will be no consequences.

Riiight. Gotcha.

No consequences? Of course not, and nobody claims that. But a number of studies have found that treatment is much more cost-effective than law enforcement as a way of controlling the drug problem. If your concern is truly about the costs to society of drug users, you should oppose the WOD.
