LEGALIZE DRUGS AND TAX THEM

I agree that prohibition doesn't work.

The answer is full re-legalization, not decriminalization, of all
types of recreational drugs and having them legally available in local
pharmacies for pennies per dose.

Only legal products can be regulated, taxed and controlled by our
government.

By keeping marijuana and other recreational drugs as criminalized
products, we are throwing away billions of dollars in potential tax
income.
