Legal drugs...

Populist America has an article - what if all drugs were legal?
I find it to be big peace of bullshit. Well maybe that is an overreaction, but lets look at it. It fails to neglect so many things in it and makes it all so rosy and peachy...
it talks about cheap market prices, and save ones with no more dealers with doggy stuff... but if you think about it... if drugs were legal they would be heavily taxed and people would look to make most money out of them, so they would by no means be cheaper than they are now... Making them legal would possibly cheapen the transportation costs also for smugglers and that would mean cheaper and better illegal stuff - same stuff all the junkies will be using. Alternatively this could go the other way and junkies will have to go with shit stuff and that aint gonna be pretty either...
It says that because of these free market prices junkies will stop mugging people... but it fails to mention where will they get the money for the next fix?? It is not like government gonna pay for them...
I do see crime going down and lot of people becoming legit rather then criminals... but it makes it look too nice to be anywhere near the truth.. maybe in long run, but it ain't gonna be easy..
