I do.
Legalize it all and sell them like booze.
You propose legalizing hard drugs?
There is still a growing underground market for marijuana in legalized areas to avoid taxes.

I had a missionary friend murdered by a cartel near the border. Most have no idea just how bad it is. The US military ought to be involved. The Mexican government has shown it is incapable of dealing with these well arm gangs.

lulz.Yes. It sucks that people want to do hard drugs but the war on drugs has made the problem worse. Bring it above board and there are all kinds of benefits:
you can tax it
you can regulate it and make it safer
you don't have to spend $50B+ policing it
you can spend some of those savings on solving addiction problems
drug addicts will see better outcomes when they aren't treated like criminals
black market mostly disappears
violence associated with drug use mostly disappears
foreign cartels and many domestic organizations lose largest source of $
The money spent on policing it would be better invested in treatment. It sounds odd to suggest legalizing it, but the current plan is a complete failure. Stop arresting people who are buying it here and launch military campaigns on countries manufacturing it.
I agree pot should be legal. You legalize heroine, coke I can see lots of problems with that. I already see enough people destroying their hearts with coke and the heroine overdoses are just ugly and turn out badly most of the time. They end up with anoxic brain injury.I do.

Pot can ease allot of ills, pain, cancer treatment side effects, weight gain issues. THC is medically useful and I rarely hear about someone high on pot intentionally killing anyone.
True, 60 minutes had a story on how legalization in CA has lead to a boom in illegal pot because of all of the taxes and fees legal growers and retailers have to pay. It's a great example of how the .gov can **** up a wet dream. They (.gov) went overboard thinking legalizing pot would fill their coffers. I'm sure it's the same in CO.
Just regulate drugs like alcohol, booze isn't taxed to the point good illegal product is a cheaper and easier to get.
