All online poker site should be allowed
All online poker site should be allowed
And all drugs and prostitution should be legal. Our country would be a better place to live, unfortunately I don't see that happening any time soon
Not sure about ALL drugs but as far as poker the right is being paid to not let it become legal and unless casinos come together to create a site its not going to happen. Of course they arent making any money right now but its not like its hurting them either LOL
Other than one time when I was a teen, I've never used drugs. But I agree with you. The war on drugs was lost before it started. It's a total failure, so why continue throwing huge amounts of money and people at it? The lives lost because of the war on drugs probably rank close to the number of lives lost due to drug abuse itself.All drugs man, people who want them are taking them anyway, but if they were available at the store to people over 21, like alcohol and cigarettes, there would be no criminality associated with drugs anymore. No drug cartels, no murders and violence, and there would not be more people taking drugs either, look at cigarettes, there are so fewer smokers now than 20 years ago and cigarettes are still wildly available and legal.
Plus all the taxes collected from drug sales could be used for healthcare, education, infrastructure etc, not to mention the money saved from policing and incarcerating all the drug offenders.

Legalization may be a better approach than the war on drugs, but won't lead to "no drugs cartels, no murders and violence" and the government capturing all the benefits. Drugs can be mass produced at little cost causing the illegal trade to persist. The government price can be undercut while still making a massive profit.
