we could cure the budget crisis with this option the police wouldn't waste money criminalising users and would be able to concentrate on harder drugs it would bring crime down massively as it would destroy the black market would stop organised gangs keep people off the streets at night and the money made off the tax on the product would be substantial lets be honest all the research that says its bad is floored by the legality of alcohol this country would be better off it would be safer and the police budget cuts could be justified because they would have more resources to waste raising money as traffic cops and lets be honest its all they are good at
