What about the millions of dollars spent for the war against drugs??
(Local Perspectives)
Who would be planting, processing, and comercializing this products?
Where you gonna get it: Wallmart, Seven Eleven, Starbucks?
And what about the thousands of criminals in this bussines; they will become monks, or honest citizens instantly?
And what about the cost of treating millons of adicts?
Do you think that leaving a drug addiction it’s like quiting coffee or smoking?
Do you know any success history in the world legalizing the drug market? (including Holland).
Many questions...

sO MANY QUESTIONS, i AGREE.
On one hand you could see it would create an employment boom and a very welcomed income flux into a stalled economy. It would allow for ”quality and quantity” control, it would allow prisons to be for real criminals, not for people who just happen to get caught with a little mota in their pocket.
But as we all know, things that seem too good to be true, are always too good to be true.
We would be transferring power from cartels to who, the governemnt? We already know, through history, how they handle power and wealth, the state never shares the riches of the state with the state and it’s people.
Buying heroin or LSD in super 7, I doubt that would work..We know that here in Mexico, nobody ever asks for an ID and even prescriptions can be bought for a simple mordida.
As for the cartels, no I can’t see them becoming calm, loving, society improving white or blue collar workers just because we decided to cure the ills with legalization....Extortions, kidnappings would sky rocket even higher until they found their next illegal product to move and then what? Repeat the process, LEGALIZE, LEGALIZE, time after time, product after product, act after act.?
Where’s the answer?
Return to the past and just let them run it straight into the U.S....Criminalize usage and legalize trafficking? Wash our hands of it? Va?

There is no easy solution. We can’t just legalize all of each and every country’s ills and call the world CURED.
