The quote above is about cutting drug use, but the truth is that it would have several beneficial effects for society. It would not only be a huge savings, both in lives and in money, but it would also do away with the underground black market and let the police get back to dealing with real criminals -- those who commit crimes against people and property (and there would be room in prison for them). I know this is a scary idea for Americans, because they've been fed decades of propaganda to justify the actions of misguided politicians. But legalization has worked where it has been tried.
