If drugs remain illegal - this is what you get (WARNING: Extremely graphic pic)

34. Spot on!

Want to make medicine in a controlled lab, with safety and efficacy testing? You lousy 1%er dirtbag. Want to sell some heroin of uncertain purity and safety, knowing full well how small of a gap there is between effective and deadly? You are a hero of the 99%.

Why won't anyone, like the OP who advocates making death drugs legal, explain how this legalization thing would work in practice? Would former dealers, runners, lookouts etc. get enough unemployment compensation to replace the phat cash they are losing? How do we keep them from going into other criminal activities? We can't lock them up because that contributes to the commercial incarceration industry.

Damn, some people are lucky that they can see a pretty shiny solution without their mind going into the complex side effects and challenges of those solutions.
