The logic produced by the anti-legalization crowd, which basically comes down to "well it won't remove every problem, so we shouldn't do it" is assinine. The goal of government and society should be to reduce harm and increase quality of life in as many areas as possible. If legalizing cocaine and heroin results in a 30% decrease in gang violence, and a 20% decrease in incarceration rates, how is that a bad thing?
