DRUGS CAN BE REGULATED, CONTROLLED AND TAXED

The reason there is no shortage of people willing to become "drug
mules" is because drug criminalization policies have made it easy to
produce chemicals more valuable than gold. ("Drug Mules" Dec. 17.)
Today's black market drugs are untaxed, unregulated and controlled by
criminal gangs. Speaking of untaxed, both Canada and the U.S. are
throwing away countless billions of potential tax dollars by keeping
certain politically selected drugs as criminalized products. It's time
to end this insanity so recreational drugs can be regulated,
controlled and taxed.
