Pros: Less crowding in jails, less taxpayer money going to worthless rehab programs, more taxes from the sales of said drugs, new jobs and industries in America, etc
Cons: People die of overdosing who, one way or the other, would have died anyways.
For the record, I hate drugs, I think it’s a stupid thing to do to your body, but if the government says we can smoke and drink, why can’t we have pot?
1 Pro…we have spent over a trillion dollars on the drug war and you can still purchase almost any illegal drug within a 5 mile radius of your house. Legalizing it would reduce violent crime related to drug sales.
#1 Con…Easier access to drugs would mean more people would use them and it would make it easier for younger kids to get them…similar to alcohol and tobacco.
My thought…I don’t need a nanny state. Let people be responsible for themselves.
PROS: It would create a revenue steam, and jobs, crime rates go down, less over crowded jail & prison system…..
