If you want to sell drugs legally, go to college and earn a pharmacy degree. CVS is always hiring.

and what's the purpose of making it legal? more demand on people addicted to crack, meth and heroin and the rest on the other crap. You don't think taxes will go up so the government takes care of more addicts who can't produce in society?


I guess people addicted to meth, crack and heroin now are not enough. Let's make it more in demand and have more addicts. What could possibly go wrong for the rest of us?


People don't think this in the long term. Add that the government will be declaring war on any person that don't buy from them or pay their taxes on their addictions (funny but ignorant) and jail people that sell the junk underground which won't go away if the demand grows, it will get worse.


They want to take out the violence by only having the government controlling the addiction and pretend addicts will make sure to file it on their 1040 and pay their taxes while the underground folks will close shop and sell Avon door to door for min wage. The U.S. hates competition. They will invade and jail and shoot any person that sells this crap that is not them. Making this a civil war in the streets. They think by taxing it the consequences will just go away with the violence.

This is how I was raised. As was my husband.
We are such a melting pot of different races and ethnicities that it would be hard to specifically define who would get what.

I don’t cars about saving the lives of people who make a conscious decision to ruin it. But why leave money on the table when we’re sitting on a multi trillion dollar a year industry. And I have thought about it long term. You haven’t. I’m a libertarian. I don’t even believe in taxes. But taxes or not, it’s less waste of money than the insane amounts of money we spend propping ho this war that can’t be won. We’re talking trillions of dollars effectively put in a black hole.

So spare me with how much it would cost tax dollars. It cost them way way way more in the legal system, policing, litigation, and prisons.

The eco system goes away if drugs are legalized

I don’t want the government to control the distribution and sell of drugs. I want it to be a completely private market. Where businesses can sell them to willing customers

ahh, so you want Wall Street people with a suit and a degree to control the poison to the masses to make more addicts with the protection of the government. We have a private market now, it's call an underground economy. That doesn't change the effects of meth, crack and heroine on the rest of us.


You lost me, the government doesn't control the distribution or sell of drugs. it's private sector now. You want it to go where in the private sector at what cost? so your problem is that you want the government to stay out of it and give it to a certain kind of people in the private sector with the full protection of the feds.


How is making more addicts by the millions is good for the rest of us?

You seem to missing out of the fact that they're not legal.

and making it legal somehow it will do what for the rest of us?


but you want it legal, so if you make it legal then they can continue supplying the demand in the private sector. or you want the government to choose the winners and losers in the distribution business? You want more addicts and want the government to pick and choose and protect the people making more addicts in society?

You can turn drug sells and distribution into an actual industry. A legal market. Where you can have businesses. you can have share holders. You can have investors. Not sure what you're not understanding here.
