<<<<You forget the connection between illegal drugs and crime. Murder, burglaries, rapes, etc performed by people on drugs, or seeking drugs>>>> I believe you would eliminate 90% of these crimes(which are related to the high cost of the drugs) if you made drugs non-criminal. How many murders, burglaries, rapes are committed by people high on alcohol or seeking alcohol?? 80% of our jails are filled with drug related criminals.

If they were not illegal, then there would be no crime. Do you see people killing for alcohol or cigarettes? You are obviously shooting from the hip and have done no research. I think it is wise to legalize all drugs and treat it like health problems which it is. If you cannot see the connection between illegal drugs and crime only because they are illegal, you are totally uniformed. So, why should I debate with you? Do some research first....
