Which do you think is far more effective?
I am not after laws or regulations, but on your opinion on the effectivity of either of the two choices I have given. Yes, we have already “war on drugs” campaign going on for a long time and harsh rules at that. But still, drugs are everywhere, and far more proliferate than ever. What about option b?

Take some of the billions of dollars that are being dumped into the war on drugs, and start drug testing welfare recipients. If they fail, they get no money and in order to receive money they would have to go through rehab, and pass the test. Kills two birds with one stone. Cuts down on drug usage, and think of all the junkies on welfare that would be kicked off.

I don’t know which drugs are worst, heroine, crack or coke.

But marijuana, and 1 or 2 of the other drugs should be legalized. Why and how?

How: Tobacco should be replaced with marijuana for one. You’d have to be a dumb *** not to realize that they’re both addictive drugs, (tobacco gives you a certain high sort of) and marijuana only does minor to minorly mild memory reduction as far as we know. I also read that marijuana doesn’t give cancer. Oh yeah and a probably 2 or 3% chance of testicular cancer in people under the age of lets say 18 or 19. You can still function pretty much normally if you’re stoned unlike alcohol. You’ll just be about 30% slower.

That said, any tobacco company should switch to marijuana and start advertising it like its alcohol. All risks must be extremely clear on any and all cigarette cartons and packs.

As for the other drugs, I believe the best bet for those would be government run shops. Yes, the U.S government selling you drugs. I see it like this. You go to the government-run store.
You’ll have your official drug user card on you. You order some drugs, and they scan your card to see when you last made a purchase. If it’s too soon to buy more drugs, meaning they can’t sell you enough often enough to get you too addicted. THEN whenever someone doesn’t want to be a drug addict anymore, they go to their local government run drug rehab clinic. Note that this must be affordable and effective to the mid 3rd class or else a lot of poor people will be addicted to drugs. They sign up, do drug tests weekly, if they fail 3 drug tests, they go to an addict’s jail.
Which is jail, except instead of killers and rapists you have drug addicts that failed the clinics.

Why: If it were like this, not only would the U.S government get the taxes they so greedily want and need to keep America running, we’d have efficient drug control. Well… a lot more efficient than what we have now.

I don’t see any faults. Of course there will be the criminals that try to find loopholes or find some way to try to break the law, but hey. Nothing’s perfect.

One more thing. No, the president can’t toke up on marijuana whenever he wants just because it’s legal. The consequences would be the same going to work or driving drunk.

I believe that if people have the legal option of marijuana, alcohol and cocaine/heroine/crack whichever of those 3 drugs are the least deadly, most people wouldn’t choose the really deadly illegal drugs when they can have a legal alternative that is almost as powerful.

1. marijuana 2. alcohol 3. cocaine
With these 3 drugs and an efficient rehab system America could just maybe solve the drug problem and gain billions of dollars in the process.

If anyone sees faults, please let me know. I want to perfect this idea.
