This is in response to the topic of WOD, not anyone here.
So, if it's legalized and a huge sin tax added as some here say, will that still keep the prices in the range they are now? The only way to remove the illegal drug dealers is to undercut their product. If you don't they will continue to have a clientele. The same issues of enforcement and criminal elements/violence continues. The same people stealing to support habits will not suddenly get jobs and only shoot up in their spare time, crack houses will not disappear.
To say legalizing drugs will solve the cartel/border smuggling gang issues is silly. It just changes the name to, Law enforcement of nonsanctioned suppliers.

Barak would say privatize without governemnt interference or regulation. In that regard, producers could make a better product on the cheap, thus keeping willy high till he dies. Sad part is, who's gonna give willy the cash to buy his dope?
I forgot to add this debate pops up here every 6 months or so. Has anyone changed their minds?
