Prohibition leads to increased price, criminal distribution, and creates an entire criminal subculture if a drug is popular enough to support it. You can see what happened during prohibition- the whole HUGE economy of illicit alcohol distribution was untaxed, unregulated, and violent. What a waste to society. Collect the taxes, make sure of the purity, and take the big money out of drugs. Without the price support of criminalization most drugs would be CHEAP. That reduces the profit motive for the seller- and surely takes out the need to whack old ladies for their social security money on the part of the buyer. Winos, for example, can beg on a street corner to get enough money for a bottle of whiskey- what if heroin and crack were that cheap?
