Frankly, I would like to see the welfare state abolished before drugs are legalized.
If the welfare state is jettisoned first and then drugs leagalized, those who choose to ruin their lives with drugs will do so without some agency there to rehabilitate(translation:substitute their heroin with methodone.) them and they would have to either straighten themselves out or starve.

I agree with you. At least make it concurrent demolishment. Then let the people, their families, churches and private charities deal with both issues. That is how this country was set up: Let individuals and families and community groups solve their own problems and leave gooberment out of it.
