Entry: The War on Drugs Has Its Advantages Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_war_on_drugs_has_its_benefits#24726 Post contents: There would not be as much crime in the first place if drugs were legal. Just as Prohibition caused a big rise in crime in the 20's, much of the crime today is from drugs and the gangs that control their sale and distribution. Just because the police have cracked down on drugs and lowered the crime rate doesn't mean that this has no price. It would be cheaper to legalize them and tax them. Any problems caused by drugs to the users of drugs pales in comparison to the problems caused by perfectly legal alcohol. Sent at: 2008 07 06
