legalize it and tax it.
They just did with marijuana, so there is progress
They didn't do a proper legalization like Canada though. Just half-assed it.
Idk for me it's progress. But it might be a glass half full/empty kind of difference in perspective
so the state has more wealth that it can use to bomb innocent people? no thanks
Google Iran-Contra. No legalization needed for that. In fact black money pools are much more useful for bombing innocent people.
oh, I'm all in favour of legalizing it, don't get me wrong, but I see the "we could raise more money by taxing it!" as a bad thing - more wealth for the state just means that the people in power have more resources. I think it would be far better to legalise it, but only when you buy it from a sole individual, and make it illegal for corporations to profit from the drug trade. far better for everyone!
