I've proposed to Freepers that all drugs be licensed.

You would need a license to purchase and use any recreational drug (alcohol and tobacco included). Much the same as you need a license to operate a car.

To obtain a license, you would be required to have health insurance. This puts the health burden on the user, not the common citizen.

You would be required to read the latest literature regarding the known dangers of the drug and sign a release form. This puts the legal responsibility on the user.

All employers and health insurers of the user would be notified. Thus the financial burden is on the user. Employers would have to make their policy known for each type of drug before the user applies for a license though. The employer would have the right to continue the user's employment or not, based upon previously stated policy.

The license applicant would then pay some small administrative fee to process the application (like what is done for a drivers license). The benefit to the user is that he would be able to go to a licensed dealer, purchase the drugs for much less than the cost from an illegal dealer, with better quality, and without fear of prosecution.

The restrictions of the license may vary from drug to drug. Some of the harder drugs may restrict usage to personal residences only. Tobacco may have the fewest restrictions - just don't give it to minors.

Violation of the license would be a felony.

Why a license? Responsible users will have no problem with this. The burden of use will be all theirs. Problem users will be locked away for a long time. The illegal market then dries up.
