Now I am not sayiing legalize all drugs but lets take the criminal element out of the equation and start treating those with addictions or offing safe havens for those who need it like they do in the netherlands.

I bet if we were to dig deep enough, we would find that those same politicans and other government officals that cry the loudest against legalizing pot are the ones profiting from it.
