Okay we've legalized drugs and are now taxing "heavily" them. How is that going to minimalize the negative aspects of drugs? With ready availability there is more opportunity to abuse which means more money needed for the next high. Drug users will then turn to their constant source of income for their high, crime. Except this time they'll be paying taxes instead of out right buying the drugs. What about the impact of more drug users/abusers upon the medical field? To expect that more folks using/abusing drugs isn't going to have a negative impact upon insurance premiums/availability of medical insurance.
