LEGALIZE DRUGS, THEN COLLECT TAXES ON THEM

I think it would be a good idea to legalize drugs: marijuana, cocaine,
meth, crystal meth and whatever else is out there. Sell it at
Wal-Mart, Walgreens and at your local grocery and drug stores.

The tax money would help each state, and the DEA could place its
efforts on robberies and murders.

People are hooked on drugs, and will continue to take them. There are
organizations to help, similar to Alcoholics Anonymous.

Alcohol can be bought at the grocery, drug store and liquor store.
True, people abuse it as well as their loved ones -- AA can help them
if they want help.

We want to give $4.1 billion to help Mexico beat down the drug
cartels. Ridiculous. Make drugs legal.
