Even if you don't think it's a large issue morally or whatever, the money we spend policing them, the drugs they do, and the immense wealth of black market dealers should all show you it is a major problem, even if only a financially ridiculous decision for any state to make. Waste money impotently pretending to police drugs instead of generating tax revenue selling them. It's absolutely brain dead how we operate.
