Just imagine how much prison space could be freed up by decriminalizing drugs.
The mind wobbles.

Well...there wouldn't be any money in it, that's for sure.

It has the potential to be a HUGE revenue source for the government. They could save and make money at the same time. Save it by not processing some kid with a pocketful of weed, and make money by taxing it. Be a boon for private enterprise as well.
Probably the only people to lose money would be the cops taking bribes from dealers.

I have had it up to HERE with people calling me a radical leftist for no other reason than that it happens to be true.

Next you'll be wanting universal healthcare and for everyone to have the eight to fair wages, taking money out of the pockets of corporate overlords and making it so they can only afford six houses and two super yachts.

Legalising and taxing makes sense. You take a lot of power out of the hands of cartels and gangs.
