Legalize all drugs,gambling, and prostitution. Tax them. Feed every hungry child in the country. Shelter the homeless. Pay of the national debt. And still have enough money left over to give everyone a free college education.
Make Heroin and cocaine ten cents per dose. Within 6 months the "drug problem" will have sorted itself out. If a junkie wants a fix, he can look through his couch cushions and won't have to resort to crime to afford it. No one with any sense will do any drug just because it is legal.
Democrats should want to legalize drugs because it is compassionate.
Republicans should want to legalize them because that is what free trade is all about.
But no one wants to legalize them because they are all a bunch of fucking pussies who are bought and paid for by the criminal corporations whose best interests are upheld by drug laws. | While put rather bluntly, I agree with this post. If a junkie wants to do their thing and sleep a life away, or loose it altogether, so be it. But why create a system that cultivates a criminal underground that only works due to the illegality of controlled substances and victimless crimes like prostitution and gambling? The police could focus on the true crimes of violence and theft and maybe even make a dent. While police organizations insist that the war on drugs must be won, most individual officers I know see it as a total waste of time and resources.
