If the govt taxed & regulated drugs they way they do alcohol, the revenue generated would be astronomical.

Maybe. Or people would just continue to manufacture their own and skip the tax part.

My stance: They should legalize drugs. Why? Cuz imo the government should only interfere when someone's rights are being violated. They have no right to tell me what I can/cannot do to my own body. Those lovely unalienable rights, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness that this country was founded upon. Perhaps it's not the easiest, or nicest solution to everyone, but it's the fair and just solution.

Secondly, criminalizing anything makes it more profitable to people that don't care about 'the law' or anyone elses life or liberty. Legalize it and tax it just like everything else. Perhaps they could use all the tax money on rehab clinics n'such.

Well okay, maybe not "manufacture".

I really doubt the columbians and mexicans want drugs to be legalized. If the U.S. ever does so, those cartels are still going to look to push their product and rake in the bazillions. They may go mainstream, but then they may stay under the table to get more customers via tax dodging.

They prolly would try to maintain a black-market, but I don't think it would be as big and profitable as it is for them now. If people had a choice between a reliable product and a taking a gamble, most would pick reliable.
