I think each state should share in its own problems.

But If the state of Arkansas were to choose to legalize all drugs then there would be a boom in the economy and new businesses would spring up everywhere. Someone like me would be happy to take full advantage of that opportunity.

Drug dealers would leave and new drug outlets would spring up everywhere.

I would not be surprised of all forms of drugs would suddenly drop in price.

And I would not be surprised if law enforcement would suddenly find time to deal with others matters and find themselves in less danger.

Perhaps we should deport all the drug users to Arkansas.

LEGALIZE IT ALL, I SAY.

Give power to employers to reject someone who is on a list of drugs deamed mind altering and not related to the individuals healthcare needs.This would require testing and I don't see the problem with it.

Prepare areas where people who desire drugs can buy and take them.

Tax the drugs heavily and use the tax to rehabilitate those who wish to be helped.

We have not solved this problem after decades and will not solve it in the decades to come. Just put an age limit on them like we do cigarettes and alcohol.

Maybe we can then spend less of our money running down drug pushers and users. This would allow us to focus on other issues in our society.

As the War on Drugs has gone on you see that once a drug is somewhat under control people just switched to even worth drugs, like Oxycodone. And since they are already breaking the law dealers don't mind breaking additional laws by secretly putting other things in their drugs. Recently there have been many deaths in Detroit, because fentanyl was placed in heroin.

Implementation of a higher degree of GPS tracking systems in which these GPS records are only available by court order, just like phone records and bank transactions today... by placing the GPS chips in our phones, cars, property and in childrens bracelets "at our choice"... and especially anyone convicted of crimes in the past, will destroy repeat offenders offending again, the drug trade, false convictions from planted DNA evidence, and child abductions... for more click www.appyp.com/fix_main.html

Zutyss has addressed what should be considered one of American societies greatest hurdles on the socio-economic front. The drug war has cost the American taxpayer a great deal of money and, like the other great war currently in progress, seems to be doing very little to solve the intended problem. Drugs aside, our government has lost sight of the actual needs of the American people and become embroiled in the affairs of the world, at the cost of almost insurmountable problems at home.
I believe that organic narcotics (provided by nature) should be legalized and taxed. With the money made from the sale and taxation of marijuana alone, programs to stem the use of the harder substances could be adaquetly funded and society would benefit from fewer drug related issues. As usual though, many individuals and groups oppose this view, so this aspect of the "war on drugs" trudges on, leaving America immobilized on an out of control social dilemma.
