i don't want to get into a general discussion about drugs (we've done that over and over), but if we did legalize drugs, at least marijuana,
1. would there be more or less violence.
2. would we spend more money in this area or less
of course, the liberal republicans and liberal democrats who run our country each term want to make government as big as possible. but here's what's happening in other countries where it's safe to say they are having a similar problem with the war on drugs.
the new mexican president talking about discussing legalization: "I'm in favor of opening a new debate in the strategy in the way we fight drug trafficking. It is quite clear that after several years of this fight against drug trafficking, we have more drug consumption, drug use and drug trafficking. That means we are not moving in the right direction. Things are not working,"
colombia: Colombia's Constitutional Court has approved the government's proposal to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of drugs for personal use. Under the law, people caught with less than 22 grams of marijuana or one gram of cocaine for personal use may not be arrested or prosecuted, but could be referred to treatment. The law also decriminalizes the possession of other drugs, but it is unclear in what amounts.
