Drug legalizationRepealing the 18th Amendment increased homelessness and drug alcoholabuse…. It made life worse in every state and city where it's been tried ….

Average annual number of deaths from excessive alcohol use, including partially and fully alcohol-attributable conditions, increased approximately 29% from 137,927 during 2016–2017 to 178,307 during 2020–2021, and age-standardized death rates increased from approximately 38 to 48 per 100,000 population.

I never understood the irrational reasoning behind legalizing drugs to “put the cartels and drug dealers out of business.”

It doesn’t work like that in real life.

There will always be a black market competing with a “legitimate” market, because the legal market will always necessarily come with constraints that the black market doesn’t have to worry about.

I’ve heard this explained as a taxation issue. That the state adds SO MUCH tax to the sale that the black market has set up a cheaper alternative.

I think everyone is overlooking something. There would be no drug trade legal or otherwise if it wasn’t for the people who make the stupid decision to use them.
