'WANT TO REDUCE CRIME? LEGALIZE ALL DRUGS.'

Crime and crystal meth would not be as closely intertwined if our 
government had not decided to make the drug illegal.

If tomatoes were banned, we would presently be inundated with thousands of 
home-based tomato grow-ops.

If waffles were banned, the cops would be unable to cope with a "rising 
tide" of waffle crime.

Want to reduce crime? Legalize all drugs.

Want to fix the grow-op problem? Legalize marijuana.

Want to fix "the needle problem"? Legalize all drugs.

Want to save lives? Legalize all drugs?

Want to reduce costs? Legalize all drugs.

Want to reduce corruption? Legalize all drugs.

Want to reduce the spread of disease? Legalize all drugs.
