Decriminalize all drugs. Take the crime out of it and you will destroy the drug cartels as their product would then become very cheap and easily available. People that use drugs will do this if it is illegal or legal As an added benefit the druggies will often remove themselves from the gene pool when given access to cheap high potency drugs.
More than half the violent crime in the United States is Drug related. This costs our country 100s of billions of dollars each year.
As long as it is illegal our crime rate will be astronomic and the innocents in society pay the price. If it were legal only the guilty would pay with the damage they do themselves.
Societies first duty is to protect the innocent not prevent druggies from using drugs. Let them have all they wish and bury them when they die.
“Decriminalize all drugs. Take the crime out of it...”
You must mean “legalize” instead of “decriminalize.” When a drug is decriminalized, as has happened with marijuana in a few states, the threat of jail is removed and usually people caught with the drug won’t end up with a criminal record. They’ll usually be fined though and the drugs will be confiscated. There is no legal production or sales when a drug is decriminalized. Decriminalization does not “take the crime out of it.” Law breakers will still provide the drugs, and usually that means organized crime will be involved in production and wholesale sales at least.
