The reason drugs are so expensive is because they are illegal and therefore incur big risk.
Take the money out of drugs and you will have less drugs.
Less drugs means less drug deaths.
I’m for legalizing ALL drugs. Drug cartels will disappear. People willing to take drugs will kill themselves off. It’s a self-correcting problem.
Sorry to hear about your family member, but the above facts are still true.
Not sure that is true. Government will just come in and “regulate” and tax drugs. In California, pot actually increased in price after legalization.
I am in favor of building drug rehab facilities in Mexico, near Mexico City or farther south. Then each time a drug user is convicted of possession or small time dealing, have the US military transport that person to the new rehab centers and revoke that person's passport so they can't come in. If Mexico wants to keep the supply of illegal drugs coming into this country, then we should move the illegal drug market to Mexico, so they don't have to move the drugs into the US.
I am in favor of prosecuting all drug dealers for income tax evasion, and non-payment into Social Security and Medicare tax pools from the self-employment profits from drug dealing. That includes all Mexican residents involved in the drug smuggling into this country..
