Shared Sacrifice!

What the hell does that mean?  How about we all sacrifice at a per ca pita ratio ensuring a fair and equitable sacrifice shared amongst those who have and those who have not. Legalize, distribute and market clean, cheap drugs that are wanted and used by a majority of people. Many deny their choice of drug whether marijuana and derivatives, cocaine, prescription narcotics, stimulants whatever. This would decriminalize and legitamise an already world-wide cartel that carries on untaxed, unsupervised and usually with the paid assistance of governments and business alike. The amount of money being made in the illegal drug business from the top down is astronomical and if government would divorce itself from religious and other dogma pure mathematics could prevail. Debt is at monumental proportions on a world wide scale and so is the use of drugs so, where there is demand big government should supply.
There are no age, size, race or gender barriers to using and wanting to escape and improve ones mood and abilities to cope. Denial of such is a blind denial and worthy of disregard. The laws and its punishments have not been successful at diminishing the use of illegal substances and neither will any other punitive measures. The death penalty has not succeeded as a deterrent and in fact it seems as though recorded murders are on the rise. Arrests for drug and drug related activity contributes to the over crowding burdens placed on the courts to prosecute and the jails to house offenders. Too many lawyers get rich on this strange system. Obviously there is a large market and since the phenomenon is beyond the ability of government and law to police and prevent, why is legalization such a problem?
Debt could be quickly erased while a wide horizon of business potential could develop plus so many jobs would be created in the horticulture, transport, distribution and quality control aspects of the business. If the consumer could access what they want at cheap prices and if this would eliminate crime, bad products and all the other bad aspects associated with the existing drug cartel practices a good new tax base would be created. Police, the courts and the legal profession as well as the jail and penitentiary systems would benefit from a more manageable number of inmates, court cases and police time and effort could be spent on crime.
Alcohol was once prohibited by law and people broke the law to make it, transport it, sell it and consume it and the consumption of drugs is no different.
How about a shared sacrifice that includes the end of the costly and lost war on drugs. It is customary throughout man's history to stop fighting loosing battles so when will the rigid dogma, religious and political  opinions fade into the sunset allowing freedom and democracy to prevail giving people the ability to do what they do without fear of governmental, police or judicial involvements. Ridding the world of the criminal element would be one giant step forward for man and a balanced budget for many countries.
