People in jail for simple possession bugs me. The Government condoning massive confiscations of property on suspicion of drug involvement REALLY bothers me. If we decriminalized drugs, we would remove one of the biggest temptations that Federal through local governments face regarding the removal of civil liberties (in order to swell the gov't coffers). I am not sure if legalizing drugs will ultimately be cheaper, since the dissolution of border commandos etc. will be balanced by increased funding for education and diversion programs. But I'd rather have more teachers than DEA blackshirts. Jmo of course. And it would be a foreign relations COUP - we could face Mexico, Colombia etc. with a lot less shame and hypocrisy. The single best things for the elected regimes in those states would be to simply remove the backbone (money) from the parallel vampire states built up by the narcotraficantes.
