Personally, I have never done drugs, nor do I ever plan on doing drugs. I don't smoke, I don't drink, etc. The closest I get to drugs is my morning cup of caffeinated green tea. I just feel like the American government is wasting our tax money on something that's going to happen, regardless, especially when there are so many more important things out there. Think of all of the money we could save! The cost of imprisoning all of these druggies alone has to be pretty high (no pun intended).
Plus, if drugs are legal, we can regulate and tax them, which means more revenue! | Regulating drugs, does not sound like the best thing to do. We could make tons of money off of legalized drugs, but what kind of country would we be to legalize drugs. If we were to legalize thing such as Cocaine and heroine, I could only see even more violent crimes happening. Legalizing drugs is just not a smart thing. | How in the blue bumbletwat would legalizing them INCREASE the crime rate? People don't get high and say "Hey lets go comitt some crime!" They comitt crime, to be able to get high... |
