Exactly and as the posts since mine have pointed out society does NOT give a crap about catching drug dealers or drugs. The ONLY time it's interested is when individuals cause us annoyance because they have become dependant on the stuff. This is plainly one of those problems that never goes away unless there is a HUGE attitude change. There is really no argument that makes sense against legalizing the whole kit and caboodle cause there is zilch support for really dealing with it. We should throw into the beer stores, tax the heck out of it and use the dough to treat the addicts. Removes the crime element and solves the problem.
Unless society actually wants to clean up it's act and get rid of drugs there is really no argument against making money off just like booze. After all booze causes far more havoc with our roads littered with dead bodies thanks to it, homes torn apart and people suffering from the abuse of it known to each and every one of us.
