We have WAY too many people in prison for drug crimes.

Legalize that stuff and let them do what they want in their own homes.

We spend ALL this money to lock these people up and we LOSE all the money we could make in revenues if we taxed these transactions.

Keep meth and crack illegal but legalize everything else.

What is the chance that an intelligent economist would support death panels to determine if grandma will live after developing complications in the hospital?
