Shouldn't the U.S.A make street drugs legal?
Since all of us have felt the effects of the great economic recession -- albeit personally or through a friend or family member -- wouldn't it make sense to legalize marijuana, cocaine, etc? BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of dollars of our hard earned tax-payer money is poured into the act of chasing down people who either sell or use these drugs -- all in the name of keeping our neighborhoods 'safe'. However, my question is this: Shouldn't we use those same billions wasted on drug containment and instead invest the money in guaranteeing a world-class education to every single student in the United States of America? So that they are not tempted to use or sell drugs in the first place?
