While I don't indulge any longer, I still have an opinion about legalizing all drugs.
The war on drugs is a losing battle, that can not be won!!!
While waging the war on drugs... people are still getting addicted... people are still dying... people are going to get high.
However, for example, if you legalize the growing, production and selling of marijuana...the government could not only regulate it, but tax it as well.
According to abc news report from three years ago,
states that a study estimates that marijuana production, at a value of $35.8 billion dollars a year!!!
If there was only a 10% tax on that would be almost 3.6 billion dollars for treatment centers as well as health care for users. That doesn't include the income from producing; distribution; and sales, not to mention the jobs it would create. (also the monies set aside for the war on drugs would be released as well).
This is only in reference to one drug...there is still cocaine; herion etc.
I am NOT condoning drug use at all; just simply stating that if we can't beat them; join them!!!
Have a Happy Day,
