One will only increase the welfare state by leaps and bounds by your solution, along with a spiraling crime rate, which is the precise reason opiates and cocaine were outlawed/controlled in most states early on - We've been there, and done that.

That sounds like the gun grabber hysteria that if we 'legalise' citizens carrying guns then we'll have a return to the wild west with shootings every day on every corner.

Neither is true.

And my statement certainly is true. Anything one endorses, or makes easier, one will get more of. Look at *any* example, and it is always the same.

"No-fault" divorce - There's a good one... Make divorce easy to do, divorces go through the roof. Legalize abortions - BOOM! abortions skyrocket. Legalize gambling, suddenly there's a slot machine in every mini-mart, and you can't find a decent place to eat without those bloody machines going off in the background. Why would drugs be any different?

It is all about mainstreaming the worst of mankind's vices, things which have not been native here, nor in polite society historically. It isn't liberty. It is libertine, and it is wrong.
