There's too much money in the illegal sales, and too many organizations ready to use it to finance violent activities. We need to legalize cocaine, heroin, marijuana and meth in order to reclaim big chunks of the black market. Then we can ease prison overcrowding by releasing drug prohibition offenders, and redirect drug-war spending into rehab, recovery and reintegration programs.
