Quote:I respect your opinion you're police so you would know more than myself. However I've always been lead to believe and the few idiots I've know who were associated with street level gangs got the majority of their funding from narcotic trafficking and dealing. Perhaps 75% is to high of a number so I'll rephrase, a good level of gangs would be out of business?

 

Absolutely agree.   But you still have to compare the benefit of ending the war on drugs to the cost to society of ending the war on drugs.   It won't all be beneficial.   There would probably be an increase in addiction.   And since you are against big government, I assume you would probably also oppose the government setting up treatment programs for all the addicts that are created by legalized drugs.
