Entry: The War on Drugs Has Its Advantages Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_war_on_drugs_has_its_benefits#24794 Post contents: "Consider the implicit assumption of the prohibition argument: Bloods, Crips, and other gangs would just suddenly quit being scumbags if drug dealing were legalized." When I said above that much of the gang problem was because of drugs being illeagal I did not think that the gangbangers would all become saints if drugs were legalized. I just stated the fact that all of the drug money flowing into their pockets, which they use to buy guns and helps them draw new recruits, would stop coming in, thus reducing their power and influence. The mafia in this country has also cashed in on this drug trade and it is one of the only profitable areas left for them. It ia also one reason they haven't gone away. Sent at: 2008 07 06
