30 billion is a drop in the bucket next to what we spend on welfareNow you are reachingYou don't think using alcohol is bad behavior even though alcohol is just another drug.
I think alcohol ABUSE is bad
But if millions of drunks convert to being junkies instead we have accomplished nothing
There is no evidence that legalizing drugs results in more people becoming addicts in fact I have posted multiple links that state just the opposite happens when countries decriminalize drugs.
But I'll go back to my alcohol example. By your logic making alcohol illegal would lessen the numb er of alcoholics but you still don't call for making alcohol illegal.
Why do you insist on ignoring the results where decriminalizing drugs has been implemented?I wonder about the savingsit's not my plan it is the plan other countries have used and has resulted in fewer cases of drug addiction and deaths than the US war on drugs not to mention the huge monetary savings
we already spend more on welfare bums than any other country and this idea does not appear to be helpful
lots of other countries have far more robust safety nets than we do.
We waste 30 billion a year on drug enforcement that has not reduced the supply of drugs, the use of drugs, the addiction to drugs or the deaths from drugs.
What metric can you give me that shows the war on drugs has accomplished anything?
