US House Foreign Affairs Subcom Calls for Action on Guns

Legalize drugs in the US and you open a whole new can of worms.

This is not the solution.

I disagree, and so do many people smarter than I.

"In 2000, an estimated 57% of Federal inmates and 21% of State inmates were serving a sentence for a drug offense."

Combine those savings, along with border patrol savings, and other drug enforcement costs, and you can more than make up for whatever "can of worms" you think would open (even though drug prohibition is relatively new in the US).

So what is it that you want to leagalize?

Heroin?
Cocaine?
Crack?
LSD?
Opium?
Crystal Meth?
Prescription narcotics (oxycodone, fentanyl)?
Ecstacy?

Or are you just talking about MJ?

I wonder what your children would think - if you have any, after all, it will be 'legal' for them too.
