I'm in favour of legalizing pot and taxing it just for the financial aspects of it, never mind the moral aspect.
Controlling hard drugs through government dispensation would cut down on crime, also save government money and make our streets safer.

Drug addicts
always harm others unless they became addicted after they have acquired enough wealth to sustain their habit to their death. That's like saying drunk driving is a victimless crime until a drunk loses control with another person involved. The first begats the second.
There is far more innocent deaths caused by drunk driving than drug addiction. Why not offer drunks government sponsered free cab rides since you see no need for personal responsiblity? Should winos and lysol drinkers be given free housing and an unlimited supply of their favourite poison as well?
