We could assume that adults are just that and capable of making adult decisions and decriminalize if not legalize drug use.
Until 1915? I believe there were no drug laws except for a few local statutes aimed mostly at chinese immigrants until the Harrison Tax Act and strangely the country didn't explode and self destruct.
Imagine the money we'd save on police, prison guards, inmate services, etc etc
It ALL should be legalized. Then who are they gonna shoot for it?
