Everything should be legal so long as the behavior doesn't directly infringe someone else's rights. Making it illegal provides no benefit to anyone but the prison system, and the street gangs/dealers.
Agree with that. I mean, would we have many more people on meth because it's legal? Problem is, even if it worked it's political suicide. All you need is one person to commit a crime on "legal" drugs and whoever the opposition is will blame you
Could there be a legit way of taxation for said drugs. Not weed.
If they made recreational drugs legal, I imagine they'd need to be regulated like alcohol, tobacco, and now weed. So licensing, regulation, and taxes should apply.
Absolutely. Solves problems for every side. As well as instituting purity laws. Then having an OD is like driinking oneself to death. I'm no fan of taxes, but I'd rather my money go to the state than some criminals, and I'd rather have pure drugs than fentsnyl laced bullshit.
Imagine the fuckton-O-cash the Govt.& the pharmaceutical co.s would make.
Already with regulated and taxed weed you see unlicensed, illegal grow operations to avoid taxes. The drug warriors just turn into revenue agents and the war continues against citizens doing as they choose.
