Back in 1968-69 I was saying this, that the only way to keep all these gazillions of $$ out of the hands of such vicious criminals (and stop their corruption of politicians, police, et al) is to legalize drugs, and then tax them appropriately to help pay for rehab, counselling, and such. Unfortunately, that is going to be a long trek given the self-interest in perpetuation this travesty by organizations such as the DEA, etc. After all, if drugs are legal, why would we need so many drug enforcement agents?
