The optics of legalizing addictive drugs are terrible as well. It's basically the government throwing up their hands and saying "Ok, you guys win, we can't curb drug use. Lets make sure we get our cut and tax the crap out of it as well, since we can't stop it".
And how would you legalize it? Do you get a doctor to write you a prescription so you can pick up some crack at the local pharmacy?
