It seems to me that outlawing drugs only benefits the government, the pharmacuetical industry, the prison industry, and other big business entities.
It really doesn't do any good for the American people at all. It's just another bunch of fascist rules that we must follow like good puppies.
Drugs are already EVERYWHERE in the USA. In any state in the USA, I can get any drug I want. So there is no need to worry about more drugs hitting the streets if it were legalized, it's already saturated with drugs.
When are people going to rise up and want to make their own decisions? When are people going to stop letting the government stand over their shoulder and tell them how to live? When are people going to demand true liberty?

There are more than 2 million inmates serving time in the United States, up from 744,000 in 1985. America has the world's highest incarceration rate, and the revolving door helps keep those prisons packed: A 2002 study by the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics found that 52 percent of released convicts were back in jail within three years.
Ask people with drug addicted relatives. Sometimes jail time is the only way someone can regain any control.
Still almost never is anyone ever locked up for using drugs, they are locked up with their drug use has led them to commit other crimes like writing bad checks, physical assault, domestic violence. It's better to go after the dealers however, those who try to get rich fast by addicting people with very addictive and poisonous chemicals.
As it is, many of the homeless, the beggars on the street that everyone cries about are addicts. That's what they face when their habits get out of control.

Or being entrapped by police into selling $50 worth of dope. Don't forget that one.

Not true at all. Lots of people get arrested for possession. See below.
[LEFT]As mentioned above, the FBI's UCR report estimated that there were 1.7 million arrests for drug violations in 2003. Drug violations are defined by the FBI as "state and/or local offenses relating to the unlawful possession, sale, use, growing, manufacturing, and making of narcotic drugs including opium or cocaine and their derivatives, marijuana, synthetic narcotics, and dangerous non-narcotic drugs such as barbiturates."
Hey, I'll be happy to support the legalization of all drugs providing we pass a law that sterilizes the people that do them. And you know when prohibition ended, the mafia didn't go away.........it expanded.
There is absolutely no reason to have privatized prisons. None. Shouldn't even be there. Because, you don't have one that is actually more cost efficient or operates with better quality. So much for corporations better than government in this area.
