End all of them.
We waste tons of money and man-hours enforcing laws that simply should not be.
We hear, every now and then, legalize pot. Why just pot? Its not the vast money maker coke and meth are. So the people that make money buying and selling drugs would just concentrate on other things and the murders will keep happening.
Some like to claim we can collect taxes on pot. Bit of a stretch, since its a weed and will grow damn near anywhere grass [actual grass] can.
So if we made all drugs legal, we could do away with the DEA, and transfer the officers and agents elsewhere. And THEN we could collect taxes on harder to make narcotics. It would save money and lives.
Legalize prostitution. Last I heard, its still considered the oldest profession. We could transfer officers from picking up whores to other areas where real crime is occurring.
Same goes for gambling. Tons of money is made by casinos. Why would anyone not want the tax money that comes from that?
If we legalize it, gangs have little else to work with. Street dealers will need to get jobs. Whores will have the justice system on their side. We will pay less to keep users in jail.
But the government is our parents, and to make sure we dont do these things they will send us to jail and ruin our lives. And there are people out there that actually think America will collapse if we did.
If I wanted to get high, I would. If it is made legal, I would still tell my kids not to.
How about you?
