I think certain softer drugs should be legalized, like weed, lsd, certain hallucinogens, and maybe even blow. The tax money the govt. would get from this could be used to educate youth about the realities of drugs, and even supply free rehab programs.
Also when you make it easy to get guns(like putting it in the fucking constitution) and put in harsh drug laws(like making it all illegal) you naturally end up with high death rates. =/ I've been saying this for a long time.
Extreme prohibition comes with a huge price to pay. But at least it produces immediate results.
