John:
But, on the other hand, if they made drugs legal, and taxed them, the free
market would drive the price of drugs to 1/10th of their current price,
and a street junkie who currently has a $300/day habit and is basically
forced to rob and steal to get that much per day (or sell drugs) would
suddenly have a $30.00/day habit, one that could easily be fed by a days
work at a labor pool, the addict (or junkie, pick your term) can suddenly
do what he/she wants in a legal fashion, the gettos could then become
safer places as the streetside drug dealers would all be closed down, and
all manner of drugs could be sold at your local liquor store.
I don't want to start another round of flames, just wanted to state my
position once again. 🙂
