Re: Why the war on drugs will never be won
By that logic, we could help solve unemployment by paying people to dig ditches and fill them up.
Drug illegalization HURTS the economy. Legalize, and you create new jobs (watch for "big marijuana"), you SUBSTANTIALLY lower the prices, giving people more money to spend on other things (thus creating demand for more jobs), and you keep money in the country, because Pablo Escabar clones can't exist anymore, AND we're not paying as much to keep so many prisoners alive.
Seems +EV to me.
