Are you silly enough to think that there's no competition now?

Making drugs legal might make law enforcement easier (in that there would be less laws to enforce) but there would be no other benefits. Plus, the likely problems would almost certainly far outweigh any benefits.

There will NOT be increased revenue for "education". That's just silly.

Regardless of what people might think are the moral ramifications, it's a lose-lose situation.
