Legalizing the crimes that the criminals are getting rich off of is not a good way to stop crime or save money. Do you see how this argument is backwards? The reason why we spend tax dollars on locking up drug dealers is because it's worth doing from a moral standpoint.
- errantmind 5y agoThere is nothing backwards about the argument. By legalizing it we will see a reduction in real crime unrelated to drug use, like violent gangs. Separately, marijuana being illegal while smoking, alcohol, and surgery foods are legal is a contradiction. If you want the government to regulate everyone's lives for the greater good, you might as well ban those as well.
