But making them illegal doesn't work, we see that, don't we? There is drug related crimes. There is a huge use of drugs (dangerous ones) and they are cheap as never before.So it doesn't work. So maybe to control it and tax it (that's always a nice thing) and to take it away from the black market might be a good idea.
And all those examples you brought, those are everyday examples, aren't they? With Drugs being illegal. I mean, it doesn't work, that's for sure, isn't it?

Making it legal doesn't remove it from the black market it just changes its value and what you can get based on what's available legally though.
With regards to the examples they are generic and serve more of a cause and effect rather then a specific this will happen example.

It will deceease the black market, are you seriously denying that?
If you can buy a kilo of pot for a buck on every corner legally...why should you buy it on the black market? When was the last time you bought your Jack Daniels from a Gangster?
So what do those examples support? Nothing?

Because nobody took the banning of alcohol seriously, not even the police
Where I live all of these drugs are illegal, except alcohol, and we not have a lot of drug related crimes.
This seems like an american problem to me.

Where do you live? Are you in touch with the Ghettos where you live? What kind of life do you lead? And if it is just an American problem, what would it matter if they were legal?

If the pot has a high tax on it then there could be market for people who steal a bunch of it and then sell it for cheap a 100% profit.

Yeah crack bars would be awesome, I'm sure not only would it be legally AWESOME but have some of the lowest rates of violent crime in the "bar" industry!
And since crack makes you lose your teeth then the crack bars will lose money on peanut and snak sales. Lets not forget the people who will be shooting each other so they can go buy more crack

How about running over our ghettos with bulldozers and replacing them with Starbucks and vineyards? That should solve the drug problem.
How about stop being a violent drug addicted society. Maybe that will solve some problems.
But wait you want freedom to be addicted to drugs and kill people over them.
