Sure, we can start there if you want but it would be more effective to just decriminalize the whole thing. Yes, I said all of them. It was all legal at the beginning of the 20th century the US wasn’t a smoldering pyre overrun by drug crazed zombies. Drug addiction would flare up once a generation and quickly burn itself out because there weren’t a bunch of busybody drug warriors trying to save people from themselves at the barrel of a gun.
So yes, all of it. I want to see Walmart and Target competing to deliver the highest quality meth for the lowest cost. Why...? How many people were killed over control of the vodka trade in the US last year? How many were killed over control of the meth market? Why?
Allowing more drug users will be expensive. The taxes for legalization won’t begin to cover, especially with pot, the lazy masses that would arise and demand WIC/EBT payments quickly.
