re Drugs.
A lot of good would be achieved by decriminalizing drugs.
The excitement of taking something "forbidden" would be withdrawn.'
The cost of drugs would be minimal, thus ending the Black Market with its attendant dealers to whoever (including children).
The people who want to use drugs could afford them within their own budget.
The asset forfeiture and break-down doors terrors of our govt would be repealed.
The prisons would be 2/3 emptied, allowing violent (murder, rape,(not statuatory) and assault criminals to be locked up.
Cost to society would dramatically decline: drug war costs us $16 billion at least a year.
People would again be (at least in this area) free to live their own way.

The bottom line is: do you want to live under a terrorist statist government that has power over your choices of how to live your life?
