So we are taxing drugs to go into medical care, which will be increased from all of the health-reltated problems due to increased drug use? If all drugs are legalized, drug testing should be mandatory for medical coverge/insurance. If you test positive, your rates are increased accordingly.

Before any of this happens, we ned to have tort reform. You can't sue a company for getting addicted or dying from the now legal drugs that they sell.It has been known for 50 years that smoking causes dancer, yet people still use the it, bad, cigarette companies.

In New York, they have had soda bans and in most parts of the country, there is a sin tax on cigaretts. Why are we so worried about these, yet even more addictive drugs re now going to be legalalized an fine?

In a now more health conscience society, the logic doesn't make sense. Hell, people here have even called McDonalds evil for selling fatty foods. Somehow selling heroin is a-ok.
