Doesn’t happen with alcohol or tobacco, and they are taxed similarly.

Truth is, studies show drug use declines when legalized. Happens everywhere where tried.

We’ve lost the social control experiment known as the drug war.

In the process, we’ve spent more than WWII, built a secret police that Obama will use against us, created massive violence in the US Southwest, FUNDED TERRORISTS (Taliban get their $$ from drug sales), and destablized the entire southern portion of the Western Hemisphere.

Yeah, let’s do MORE!

The Taliban would still get money from drug sales if it was legalized. You can legalize drugs in the US, but not everywhere in the world. We would be declaring ourselves the enemies of all the governments around the world still fighting against narco-terrorists. We would be helping jihadists and communists take over those countries and going into business with them. We would be helping them destroy our own nation.

Instead of declaring failure and surrendering to our enemies, I offer another solution, destroying them. We should fight a real drug war in Colombia and Afghanistan and win it, instead of playing defense fighting an unwinnable war on the streets of America.
