I would ask what drugs would become legal under the No More War on Drugs Regime? and how?
cocaine? heroin? crack? meth? or just marijauna? and legal in what quanties? and would it be manufacture? sales? or simple pocession that would be legalized? Would imports be allowed?
“I would ask what drugs would become legal under the No More War on Drugs Regime? and how?”
Well, I’d say marijuana is a no-brainer, it should be at least as legal as alcohol. As for the rest, well, we allow nearly identical drugs to most of the others, with a prescription, right now. For example, oxycontin is one of the most powerful opiates invented, it’s worse than heroin or morphine in pretty much every way, but it’s easy enough to find a doctor to give you some of that.
I don’t have all the answers to what the best policy would be, but I do know that the current policy is an abject failure, so it can’t hurt to consider reforming it. Until we start considering honestly the other options, we’re stuck with total prohibition “because the Feds says so”.
“Would imports be allowed?”
That’s an interesting question. Probably not, since there are very thorny treaty issues, thanks mostly to the lobbying of the anti-drug warriors in the US. Since we brought about those treaties, they won’t be changed or jettisoned until we change our stance. We’ve already got a thriving drug manufacturing industry here at home though, and if it were legalized, it would surely expand to fill a lot of our demand.
