Legalize everything: pot, heroin, acid, mushrooms, blow, crack etc. Sell it via govt. "drugstores", and have a recovery clinic right next to every one of them.

Results? No more war on drugs. Clinics. A chance at recovery. Not jails, which only exacerbate the problem.

A free society should allow people to choose. Hell, handguns are legal. Booze is legal. Tobacco is legal. Prescription drugs are legal. Why not go whole hog, legalize everything, and let see how our culture really stacks up.

America. Land of the free. Home of the brave.

Decriminalize everything and at the same time put such a high sumptuary tax on it that the national debt would evaporate like the sweet, blue smoke in a room full of potheads.

decriminalizing tobacco and then taxing it works in colorado. when people want a drug they buy it no matter the cost. the tax funds are used for community education - still a pittance compared to the money spent by the tobacco pushers. kids are still smoking like chimneys.

even though the huge drug cartels make billions of dollars, i prefer the 'buy local' economic development strategy for farm to market sales.

this is preferable to the tobacco and drug companies getting into the business.

decriminalization should mostly benefit all the middle people and the chronic abusers.

Save a cop's life--decriminalize.

I agree, and its all been said all ready.
