Most of this can be greatly reduced by legalizing and leting people grow their own.

Possibly...California is considering it. Mexico has recently legalized personal possession of ALL drugs...everyone coming over will have them now. But legalization of drugs won’t help the human smuggling, prostitution, auto theft, ID fraud, welfare abuse,buying off our politicians, more democrat voters, etc.
Unfortunately, I have a feeling it would get worse - more competition for the drug lords = more killing. I don't think they'd give up too easily.
What about cocaine? Heroin? Make their own Meth?
Where does it end? Legalize one drug, will not something new and exotic fill the gap?
I am really ignorant on illegal drugs, no personal experience and none wanted.
Drudge had a story months ago how free web sites were killing the porn business. I wonder if legalization of drugs would do the same thing.
If people want to smoke dope there should be a few rules or laws:
1. You cause an accident smoking dope it is like drunk driving or worse.
2. You cannot smoke around other people in public. No secondhand smoke.
3. Private health insurance or/and if you are a senior ddoper or former doper - you buy a Mecicare supplement insurance because you probably screwed your health and lungs.
I am not sure how you deal with kids???
Tell me how they can grow their own Heroin and Cocaine?
