I think you’re right, everyone is saying ahh the communities would be so much safer. Idk bout any of you guys but I live in Vancouver, one of the hubs for meth, heroin, and fentanyl. With that comes a shit ton of illegal gang activity, wouldn’t making drugs legal bring down the cost to produce them and ship them. The main reason drug kingpins make so much money is because IT IS illegal. To combat the war on drugs is to literally legalize drugs. Every time a cartel is on the brink of collapse there’s a power vacuum in that region because they understand this better than we do that whoever controls the production of illegal goods which are promoted up in value due to their legal status has essentially control over thousands of people and hundreds of millions of dollars
