Legalize it, regulate it, and tax the hell out of it.

After a lot of soul searching over a lot of years I have come the the conclusion that not only should weed be legal, but everything else, too.l

This ridiculously puritan "ban everything that is addictive" has to stop sooner or later. We are at the point where there is so much narcotics money sloshing around the world that it is destabilizing entire governments. In Mexico, a drug capo decided to walk out of jail the day after Mexico ruled he could be extradited to the US. He only had to bribe 28 people to do it. And don't think this is purely a Mexican issue. It is only a question of the price, and they have the money. You may not be able to bribe 28 in the US before someone blew the whistle, but how about 5 or 6?

Addictive personalities are addictive personalities and we can never really protect them from themselves. But, we can protect the governments and people who are devastated by the easy money and crime which results from addicts doing almost anything for their next fix.

So, give it a try! The drug trade will disappear overnight since there will be no money in producing or selling it. Use education to work with those lost souls who cannot fend for themselves, and the crime rate will drop overnight.

And, if I am wrong and it doesn't work? Why simply reinstate the drug laws as they are. We are talking about a few signatures on a few pieces of paper.

This moralistic idea that we have to protect other people from their own weaknesses is causing infinitely more harm than good. And besides, we are not protecting them anyway unless you call jail protection for them instead of protection for us.

it is for medical sufferers, yet i do not imagine thats sufficient. the authorities knows pot is the numerous funding for significant drug cartels yet they're so ignorant that they only must have entire administration over it like each and everything else. extremely making it unlawful ought to help to cut backtrack on the hardcore drug smuggling of coke, meth, etc.. it practically grew to grow to be criminal in Canada yet i imagine that became too debatable for various of people. BQ - no I wish

It would put a lot of street dealers and crime off the street. It could be taxed like alcohol. Read Milton Freedman's position on legalization.

I believe that maybe if we legalised the private use of bush buds it might faze out the use of that hydro crap that can send your head into a place of no return.

I don't know if I agree with your rationale but I do think it should be legal, yes.
