I think if we just took a fraction of what we spent on the drug war and applied it towards education and treatment for those who need or want it we would end up with fewer addicts, less violence and since we could grow and manufacture those drugs here and then tax them it would be good for the economy. We would actually have money coming in instead of going out.
