There is no solution fighting drugs. But, in this country, everyone is always whining about overcorwded jails, payin for convicts etc. I think the solution is to legalize drugs (let folks kill themselves with them if they wish, but at the same time tax them heavily but not so much that dealers can still compete), set standards in accordance to what can constitute a lawsuit (to weed out the friviolus), and set the age of consent at 16 or 17 (so we quit filling our jails with 20 year olds that got with a 16 year old thinkin she was 24..lol..at the same time make stiff mandatory penalties for any offense with someone under the age of consent)..these measures alone would decrease our jail population by almost half IMO, and would provide revenues to be used elsewhere in our economy. I'm not trying to sound insensitive to this thread, just my practical view of how to solve these problems.
