Legalizing drugs does not eliminate drug dealers, it allows a small few (think government and corporate entities) to become the only ones to profit as drug dealers.
smh
No, but it eliminates people going to jail for selling drugs. You get caught with a dime bag in non legal states, if they want to, they can throw the book at you. In some states, drug dealers can get more time than pedofiles. Yes, you read that correctly.
The war on drugs is a fucking joke, has been since its inception. Meanwhile, as someone pointed out, big pharma peddles FAR more addictive drugs, makes FAR more money, and kills FAR more people annually. Sure, you may get rid of you back pain, but now you cough up blood, have chronic headaches, pee purple, your shit is orange, your live fails, and you go partially blind.
