In my libertarian moments (and I have those every once in a while), I do wonder what whether legalization would help (in net). It appears to me that the cure for our drug problems (more intrusive law enforcement) is worse than the disease. If you take organized crime out of the picture by legalization then prices fall as does the need for crime to pay inflated prices (and there is no need for turf wars either). Yes some people will be hurt by legalization - but mainly the hurt will be born by those who make bad choices, not by those who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And yes, it should still be illegal to endanger others through your behavior (as in driving while high or drunk). My 2 cents.

Hello RKV

The solution to the drug problem. . .first, make it legal...now wait a minute...second create a government in charge of sales and distribution of the drugs!

It's brilliant! Have you ever seen a government program that didn't run itself into the ground. People will stop using drugs just out of sheer frustration of having to deal with the bureaucracy.

While the above was said in jest, I have to wonder if just might work.

Best Regards
