With all due respect, that is the stupidest, most ridiculous idea I have ever heard. Spend more than a few hours in an area ravaged by meth, like San Bernardino or Riverside Counties (especially the high desert). Meth is available from so many sources the sheriff and police don't even enforce possession crimes unless except as add-on charges to other, more serious crimes. Consequently, meth is dirt cheap. This permissive attitude essentially legalizing the drug and lowering the costs hasn't made the meth problem go away; it made it worse. Now instead of rival meth biker gangs fighting each other over profits, you have thousands of meth heads who get high, usually injuring themselves and any people who happen to be around them while they're dosed (usually, their children). Even the rich and middle class use drugs regularly in this country--hell, our last 3 presidents have all admitted to using illegal drugs. The solution is not to make drugs more freely available. That doesn't work in a free society because people will consciously choose to use drugs, and the rest of us will have to clean up their messes. The solution is to cut them off at the source.
