this will get many dislikes but...this idea is not a working one. There is a multitude of flaws within the cons, monumentally outweighing the cons. Decrease the amount of violence... Let's talk about that.. They're high. Many drugs cause aggressive behavior and people can't make good choices as they aren't thinking straight. It would increase violence, actually. Due to this violence increase, the jail space would increase, not decrease. Also, taxing drugs would cause an economy collapse as people would become easily addicted, due to the endorphin rush and the clogging of set receptors, and many people would go into debt, buying things less, giving company's less money and eventually bringing our economy to a nation wide debt. Not to mention, the pure and simple chaos that this would cause would be overwhelming. Hundreds would probably lose their faces due to bath-salts, the accidents would be insane, and illegal activities would skyrocket. If we allow all drugs, where do we stop?!
