Do they put on suits and ties and get respectable? Some of them, probably so. It worked for Joe Kennedy, or so I'm lead to believe. Rounding them up seems far fetched, or we would have done that already. I don't know how to make everything fair. I do recognize a policy that is not working and appears to do more harm than good. What comes to mind is some old saw about if you want to get out of a hole, first stop digging. ARS

What happens to scumbags after drugs are legalized? Some of them might continue to sell, but if its legal they would face a lot more competition. Why buy from some scumbag on the street if you can buy it at the corner drug store. Even if he can somehow compete his prices and profits should be lower. (Although its possible his "risk adjusted rate of return" won't be, since the risk would be lower).
