But seriously. I'd suggest a trade-off. Legalise cannabis with the tax and crime benefits. The other side of the coin should be a much harder crack-down on the bad guys selling the real harmful stuff like heroin and methamphetamines. Now those are the ones we should be taking down.

Why?W've been doing that for years to absolutely no effect.... just follow the media and your local paper.Day in day out we read about drug bust after drug bust and does it do anything?
IMHO we need to take
ALL drugs out of the hands of criminals and regulate and control them as best as can be done.
Burglaries,Robberies and even Murders would decline and Neighbourhoods would be safe(r) again.Also,the police could concentrate on REAL criminals,like murderers or child molesters.
Derek,I was an addict for a long time,and I can assure you that addiction has nothing to do with the substance one choses to abuse.It's all about how one feels in life and the pain that's inside.It's like an injury.... for some a plaster will do (cannabis) and for others you need a crutch (Heroin).
It's almost ironic that ice cream was mentioned,because the sugar rush from that was the first time I remember feeling my addiction,at the tender age of eleven or so.
yeah,great topic...
COME ON GORDO<make that stuff legal,save us all a wad of cash and be tough on criminals and their ill gotten gains! Plus you'll protect our boys in Afghanistan by draining the Tali-fascists of their cash-flow.
