Are you proposing the legalization of all drugs or just marijuana? Do you think we will eliminate "a constant war that makes criminals rich, costs tax payers billions upon billions, and throws people in jail" by simply legalizing marijuana?

Most drugs are already legal. They're controlled, not illegal. Only a few drugs are "illegal" to begin with, but you already knew that, didn't you.

Yes legalizing all drugs, well except the several that can have profound effects in only several uses over a life time, like Ecstasy because even using it causally will lead to permanent and very direct health problems that can't be cured. It would be like selling poison for consumption. 10-15 hits of ex can give a person depression permanently.

But other than that yes, everything legal. Right now the market is flooded with drugs, which proves its impossible to stop unless the government has a camera in every house and does mandatory drugs tests on everyone every several days. Since thats the case why not take the money away from drug dealers who use it to buy guns that accidentally kill children, and put it into Phillip morris or whoever would grow the drugs. Plus the government would probably tax it like alcohol and tobacco to pay for the drain addicts cause.
