The war on drugs creates a black market that can be exploited by violent thugs. When drugs are re-legalised, common criminals can't compete with the free market prices, and thus crime rates naturally drop. The war on drugs destroy our inner cities, while simultaneously allowing allowing the government to harass innocent victims. Do we want to see crime drop in Maryland? Absolutely, and the best way to do this is to end both the war on drugs and the war on guns. Sincerely, Alex Peak Full drug legalisation is an easy question.

He addresses several popular myths, and uses cigarette addiction to point out the fallacy that legal drugs would cause more crime than illegal drugs. It is sad how cities like Baltimore are so devastated and I believe that the drug war has played a big part in causing urban crime and poverty.
