Infinite MonkeysOkay, I'm going to put my (dusty, faded, moth-eaten) Republican hat on for a minute here. What's a straightforward way to:
1. Cut off a major source of terror funding and trafficking
2. Reduce the cost of federal law-enforcement
3. Reduce the cost of federal and state prisons
4. Reduce gang violence
5. Free up federal resources to focus on national security
6. Open up a significant new source of federal revenue
I think you already know the answer: Legalize and regulate drugs for adult consumption.
It seems obvious enough, but some people can't see the forest for the trees.
Whew! Glad I got that filthy thing off my head.
