Legalize all drugs and prostitution, tax and treat addicts.
Net profit to government and decreased crime. The money currently spent on prison's gets spent on rehab centers. Prohibition of alchohol didn't work. Any action that is done to your body with your consent should be legalized. The fact that entire countries are destroyed because of the drug trade is ridiculus. Afganistan, Columbia, Mexico.
You have to either make it legal or attack the demand side of the equation. So either you have to heavily criminalize posession of small amounts of drugs to get rid of White coller use or legalize it.
Reducing punishments to users while increasing punishments to distributers just drives up the price and therefore the lucritiveness of the trade.
