Most, if not all, top economists believe drugs should be legalized and taxed. Drug users have been shown through tests to be FULLY RATIONAL. There is some propoghanda to suggest otherwisse, but tests show differently. Because people are rational and because the government can lower the usage of a "vice" through a tax while increasing its tax revenue, economists support legalization.

I don't know if full legalization of all drugs is the way to go. It will end up like cigarettes, where the government makes huge profts and costs millions of Americans their lives.
I would kinda disagree with the fact that all heroin/cocaine addicts are FULLY RATIONAL. Meet an addict and you decide.
