Legalization of drugs
Legalization of drugs is probably the only way, which we can preserve some of the sanity still left in this world. The war on drugs is costing us over 100 billion dollars to fight each year, and we’re only fighting a monster which we are making bigger with each punch. It’s not drugs, but drug laws themselves that have created this monster. ... It’s a general economic rule, that as long as there is a demand for drugs there will always be a supply, unless scarcity occurs, but it doesn’t appear as if Colombia is running out of cocaine anytime soon. ... The United States is just too large; there is no way to stop an import of drugs completely. ... You can’t stop the spread of drugs by making it more profitable. ... By legalizing drugs the whole black market would crumble, making illegal drugs as expensive as prescription drugs, the whole world economy would also benefit greatly.
