Perhaps I didn’t make my point clearly. You may take the profit out of recreational drugs but the criminals will commit other crimes which are just as harmful to society or more so. We, “society”, are not winners. We may well end up with more addicts as some who would not try illegal drugs may give cocaine or such a try because it’s now legal.

So your argument is that because these crooks will still be crooks we should continue a failed Government program that costs billions every year, and in fact by every objective measure is a miserable failure.

Are you sure you're not a Democrat?
