If drugs are made legal, who is going to pay for the robberies, damages, rape and murder committed by the folks who used the drugs?

KLP, you're acting like these things don't happen now. Fact is people that are going to do drugs will do them regardless if it's legal or not. What legalization will do is to remove to gangster class that is already established. Look at it this way, if you're a user which would you rather do, go to some sleazebag dealer in the hood where you don't know what you're buying or to a dispensary where at least you know what you're getting. BTW, prohibition is the reason that the price of drugs is so high once prohibition is lifted the price would drop like a rock and then we could start to stem the billions of dollars that are flowing out of our country. Billions that have virtually turned Central and South America into one big narco state.

Go into any highschool in the country and ask a student which is easier to get, drugs or beer. They'll tell you drugs 99% of the time. You want to get drugs away from students? Legalize it and dispense them through a clinic where users will have access to treatment and help if they want it.

Please, do yourself a favor, visit this site and do some reading after that we'll talk.
