I have known this for a while. If you make narcotics legal, the price will become so low and the manufacturing of these drugs will become such a part of america that "drug countries" and a lot of the filth our nation sees will no longer exist.
What historically seems to be the easiest way to make a product go up in value? Make it illegal. And with the money there and with the presence of organization, crime goes up and the number of solutions goes down. #3 -AO-

And, if you made bank robberies legal, no one would be killed in the attempt of a bank robbery. The Netherlands has extremely liberal drug laws & their public parks are LOADED with addicts shooting up under the shade tree, and leaving their hypos behind.

Read much? AO addresses that point, "a lot of the filth our nation sees will no longer exist." Refute his point, instead of making silly comparisons beween robbery & drug 'crime'.

Legalization is not the way.

'Drugs' were 'legal' for most of US history. - They have been prohibited by unconstituional methods, which point you refuse to acknowledge. Are you a socialist, or a conservative?
-- You cannot be a 'conservative' prohibitionist.

So? Lots of "things" were legal at one point in our countries history...doesn't mean because they ONCE WERE, that we were better off then.

Just WHERE in my previous post do I acknowlege, or NOT acknowledge this "point", oh legal scholar???
