Instead of wasting astronomical amounts of money and lives, no one has to die, and astronomical amounts of money come IN, instead of going out. And just as with cigarettes & alcohol, people who don't drink and don't smoke don't buy the product. Why this is turned into some sort of a "huge problem" is beyond me. The solution is simple.
If cigarettes were outlawed tomorrow, you know there would be "Cigarette Wars" and "Cigarette Cartels" springing up the same day. It's not the substance, it's the broken backwards law.

Agree but unfortunately since our "war on drugs" has been going on for over 35 years, our government and many private industries have figured out a way to capitalize on it.
If all drugs became legal tomorrow, The DEA, Judges, prosecutors, police officers, the many many private and government run prisons out there over filled with mandatory minimums drug offenses would all be put out of a job on that day.
That is several hundreds of thousands of people, unemployed in a day
