If this was the case this would have happened in Portugal where drugs have already been legalized and use has actually gone down. I dont think that we are such base creatures that the state is the only thing keeping us from being off our tits on herion every night. If i wanted to be so I need only have asked the people next door, i choose not to because its a dumb thing to do and so, i think, do most people. Generally the state is very bad at stopping people from doing things recreationally.
And i can name four . 1 reduced income for criminals 2 less deaths resulting from use if the products are properly regulated 3 less addiction if the resources used for policing drug use are redirected into treatment 4 not having a civil war on your southern border.
How could this be? You mean people weren't smoking to high, but because it was illegal?
