F-it. Legalize all drugs.
I say screw it. Legalize all drugs.
Heavy penatalies if you drive under the influence. Committ crime under the influence.
Best way to anger the drug pushers, is to make the trade legal and thus cutting the profit.
Drug screening for everyone that recieves goverment aid, no aid to drug users. That means student loans, welfare, ect.

Hannity is on vacation, but the sub on his show had a caller on that was arguing for the legalization of all drugs just a couple minutes before you made this post.

Yeah, we should legalize everything. Get rid of the DEA, the prisons would not be as crowded, drug trafficing and violence along the borders will go way way down. Drug test in public schools. You can use all the drugs you want, but there are penalties for it and the gov will not be supporting your habbit.
Get rid of all government sponsored rehab programs. You can use it, at your own risk. plain and simple.

There are things that make sense but the population is so mis-educated that they refuse to support them.
1) universal health care- people think "we can't afford it"....but we can and should
2) Legalize Drugs - people think it will result in selling dope to their kids at school, instead it would bring drug use to the forefront, eliminate TONS of crime and also help other nations that have criminals that thrive on our illicit drug market
I say legalize it all. Let people do it, but let employers trace it, let the DMV test you for it, etc. etc. If you can't use drugs responsibly then you'll pay the consequences.

Do "drug pushers" actually exist? I thought the image of seedy men circling playgrounds and giving you the first one for free was just a fabrication of the 80's anti-drug movement.
All the dealers I've ever known are in high demand, and aren't out there trying to recruit new users.

No, to tell you the truth, never tried the stuff. But purely on an economic standpoint, the US would save billions of dollars a year by legalizing drugs and taxing drugs. Law enforcement would not be burdened nearly as much and the prison population would go down.
Its all about freedom, and taking responsiblity. Its just another thing that the .gov should let the individual make the choice on. If you can handle drugs, fine. if you can't tough cookies, it is all your choice.

So you're saying if you use then you shouldn't be able to drive at all? If you smoke weed 2 weeks before you test it will come out positive...why shouldn't somebody be able to drive 2 weeks after smoking weed?

No, heavy punishment similar to drunk driving. if involved in an accident while under the influence of drugs. No federal or state aid/welfare, student loans to drug users. Let employers decide if they were to allow drug users to work for the company.

I would think that if drugs were legalized today, and taxes collected from them, over the next 5 years those taxes could fund health care for the entire country, or significantly pay down our debt, or rebuild a substantial amount of our infrastructure.

You would be putting the people that make and enforce these laws out of business. They won't let that happen.
