The Obama administration should legalize soft drugs like marijuana and harmless hallucinogens like LSD. Hard drugs should be administered only in medical preparations in cases of great pain. But why are soft drugs not legal? Tobacco and alcohol consumption is legal at a certain age limit but why not these drugs since the use of these, similar to tobacco and alcohol, goes back to prehistoric times.
It is a question of lobbying and lobbying for Congress needs money and connections. No congressman would want to be labelled as a hippie, stoner or a destroyer of kids’ future. However, they sure are dumb not to realize that their country is the largest importer of illegal substances. By taxing these drugs a certain amount, the black market would have a lower share of the profits. This also generates income in the form of taxation. Pardon the mafia bosses and let them continue on their business as long as they pay their taxes. Taxes should be high enough to discourage chronic drug use but just enough for people to continue recreational use. If the mob bosses do not want to give in, kill them! CIA still does assassinations. The US can also use its propaganda machine i.e. mass media in the form of conservatives which they can bribe like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly
Read this America and be enlightened!
