I have been making this exact same argument for more than 10 years. If fact, I also take this one step further: if our government were to control/regulate the distribution and sale of all substances currently defined as an "illegal narcotic" then they could not only reduce crime, but decrease deaths due to poor-quality drugs and make a tidy profit. It would partially solve three problems at one. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
