Drug legalizationRepealing the 18th Amendment increased homelessness and drug alcohol abuse…. 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.

That's the whole problem with this debate. Those who claim to want to protect people from the ravages of legalized drug abuse don't give a second thought to those same ravages from legalized alcohol and cigarettes.

Besides, it was our open borders that caused this problem, yet we want to trust the same government that left the borders open and allowed those drugs and cartels to come into the country to fight them.
