I think this country should stop all pretenses and just face it, we can never win the drug war. That is one reason why I am in favor of legalizing all drugs. Like prohibition, when the war on drugs ends by legalization, drug crime will plummit, and drug crimes are big in this country. We can tax it, for no tax revenues are being paid now for illegal drugs, we can make sure it is safer by having guidelines for production. And I don't buy the argument that we would become a country of drug addicts. Most of us wouldn't be stupid enough to use drugs legal or not. I certainly have no use for them, but I am a realist and I don't believe there is a very rational argument in favor of keeping drugs illegal. The problem is that it would be political suicide for a politician to take such a position. If someone is going to use drugs, they can find them, no use denying that either. And think about it, who would be most against the legalization of drugs? The drug dealers of course. Just like criminals are hoping for more and more gun laws, for they can always get guns, the laws just affects the law abiding.
