Which is a crackerjack idea if you cut that one piece out of the entire puzzle and look at it.
But what of increased addiction rates, chronic unemployed status, increased government dependency, neglected children, and an accompanying explosion of government benefits to address those problems? Liberals know legalization is their path to permanent power, their only concern is about controlling the genie once it's out of the bottle.
If the welfare state is eliminated, and I have guarantees that I won't get stuck with the bills for housing, feeding, and caring for drug addicts (and their children), I can consider legalization. Eliminate the welfare state first, then we can have a serious discussion about legalizing drugs.
And guess what? My position is more libertarian than that of any of the alleged libertarians on this forum.
But as I've said, they're not really libertarians. They're liberals who know their plans will lead to a permanent explosion in the size of government.
The money saved by closing down the DEA and preventing all the crime caused by petty criminals looking for their next fix would go a long way to helping drug addicts. Buy up all the Afghan heroin and give it to people free as well as use it for making pharmaceuticals like codeine and morphine.
