So if you legalize drugs, who gets to sell it?

That’s a whole other thread, wouldn’t you say? They seem to have figured out a system in Amsterdam. Couldn’t we?

This is a question that does really need to be answered. I've flirted with both extremes of the WOD/legalization issue, and while I agree that a lot of the excesses of current drug policy are draconian and unnecessary (people do not need to go to jail for years for posessing some dope, something which I am sure many of us have done at some point), libertarian-minded people tend to view the world like any good theorist would. The problem is, utopian theories don't work in practice, because human nature is predispositioned toward the basest behavior.
