but according to the "legalize drugs, now" crowd, having the government involved in the production, distribution, regulation, and sale of drugs will be nothing but good times for everyone.

in fact, "drug legalization, now" will magically reduce drug use to zero, while even more magically making quality drugs available to everyone (including those so poor that they have to steal to pay for their addiction), while yet more magically generate huge amounts of tax revenue that will bring this country out of its recession (even though drug use has gone to zero).

well, it is nice to see the law-makers doing the one thing they are good at---creating new taxes.

Alcohol is a legal drug and the gov doesnt produce or distribute it. They do regulate and tax it however.

regardless if it reduces drug use to zero.. (which is a ridiculous statement on its face) a prohibition on majijuana use makes zero sense.

The old argument that its a "gateway drug" have been proven to be untrue.
