Question by johnfarber2000: Americans are willing to break the law to get illegal drugs. They enrich drug dealers who then corrupt?
public officials. Our jails are full and that is costing huge amounts of money. This is similar to when selling alcohol wasagainst the law. The gangs and gansters prospered, judges, police and other public officials were bought and society suffered. Should we legalize it, control it, tax it and put the drugs cartel out of business. Educate the public and treat addicts as well.

I’m not sure about legalizing heroine or cocaine..but I am all for legalizing marijuana because it is proven to have less detrimental effects than alcohol and it would send a huge blow to the cartel, who would lose a lot of money. We can legalize it, regulate it, and tax it.

Yes.
Please explain that to your congressman. I would like to see the billions spent every year fighting the war on drugs, go to pay for health care. That would be the best way for the presidential dumbass to pay for his program, instead of taxing me more and more.

i don’t recall the last time someone committed armed robbery to get a “Fix” of alcohol.. however the jails are full of people that do that for drugs.. if you legalize drugs.. how many more crimes would you have by addicts?

I say this, first and foremost secure our our borders. We cannot have a society using drugs all the time, it would just create more crime and would be the demise of our nation. Its not a moral thing with me its a logical thing.
