LEGALIZING DRUGS

This is a horrible thing for me to say but here goes.

After reading about the death of person associated to a bike gang I
would have to guess that it is drug-related.

We are now living in the 21st century and dealing with reality, it is
about time we legalized drugs to get the criminal element out of this
underground business.

Plus, it would generate more tax revenue. There will always be users
as some people you just can't educate.

The money that is spent on law enforcement does not even put a dent
into the problem.

You just have to go back a bit in history when alcohol became an
underground product. Legalizing solved the criminal element. I am sure
that a lot of people will disagree with me but this what I think
should be done.
