doubt. more drugs more druggies, worse druggies more drug induced crime more poverty from drug addled nutcases. Havent they effectively decriminalized drugs in california and they have whole roads loaded with junkies?

Spend the jail money on rehabs or just give them enough drugs to kill themselves. So much of our taxes are used to house druggie s in prison.

Even if heroin was sold at the grocery with alcohol and tobacco you would still get roughly the same number of people injecting themselves. Just because you can access all the alcohol you want doesn't mean you'll become alcoholic, same deal, not everybody is capable of becoming alcoholic or go for heroin injection

I don't think the number of alcoholics suddenly exploded just because the prohibition era ended

Decriminalization of drugs has lead to reduced drug use in Spain. While the war on drugs has lead to drug cartels powerful enough to overthrow governments like in Mexico. Massive bloodshed, career criminals, and lifestyles that lead to crime and destruction.

Sure, tell me how it is working in Seattle and Portland? Decriminalizing drugs is a farce. You seriously think the cartels and their corrupt govt officials are just going to give up on their cash cows?

Nothing in this requires drug cartels to give up on anything. What exactly is your thought process here?

Opening market to competition naturally takes away the cartles power and money, whether they like it or not. Weed especially can be grown by individuals for thier own use. There is nothing the cartels can do about that. Unless they use policing to enforce thier monopoly by forbidding people from growing thier own, which is literally what the government is doing right now.
