The fact that all that money spent on drugs in the last 21 years was untaxed is just one reason why drugs are illegal. Due to the fact that the selling and distribution of drugs is almost always linked to other illegal crimes and is gang related makes the government unable to tax them.
Dude, is your head on straight? You realize you can't tax something that's illegal, drugs aren't illegal because they can't be taxed, they can be taxed if they were legal. If you make drugs legal, all gangs will die because they won't have a source of revenue, and crime will go down severely. Ask any gang member or drug dealer, they support the illegality of all drugs, because that is how they make their money.
Drugs are also illegal because they alter peoples minds and many of them are highly addictive and expensive. So when people run out of money and the drug they will do anything to get more, including stealing, robbing, and causing harm to others.
You realize oxycontin is one of the most addictive substances out there and it has ruined people's lives, and yet is being subscribed to patients by their doctors. The reason drugs are expensive is because they are illegal, them being illegal means they are harder to get and produce. I'm sorry but you are a fucking idiot man, stop posting stupid idiotic shit, get the fuck off the internet, and actually think about some of this shit instead of thinking you are fucking smart.
"The government doesn't want you to use YOUR drugs, they want you to use THEIR drugs."
Also, I agree with Freedom. The drug is an obstruction of the person's freedom. Drugs had a 16% involvement in suicidal deaths.
Um, last time I checked, the drug didn't choose to be put into a human. The drug is just sitting there doing nothing, until someone CHOOSES to take the drug. So according to your logic, the drug taker is obstructing his own freedom. A simple education on drugs can prevent this from happening.
And you do realize that drug laws are also an obstruction of a person's freedom... Smart guy you are eh?
