Drug smugglers’ creativity grows

Drug smugglers’ creativity grows - SignOnSanDiego.com


I have this idea legalize and regulate let's do some math.

In the state of Arkansas on average it cost $22,000 a year to incarcerate criminals. This goes up as they age due to medical problems.

This report mentioned a shipment of 3,800 pounds found in a truckload of produce.

3,800 pounds @ 16 ounces = 60,800 ounces
60,800 ounces if taxed @ $50.00 each = $3,040,000 of revenue

As I said legalize and regulate, this will solve quite a few different problems:
1) It will quit wasting taxpayers money on housing non-violent people as criminals.
2) Will add revenue to the states coffers.
3) It will decrease the amount of violence in Mexico. Making it safer for people to go on a vacation out of the country.
4) It will give some people faith in our government. (This present program makes me wonder if our leaders are in the pockets of the drug cartels somehow)
5) It will lower the prices of the so called illicit drugs.


Now by legalizing and regulating the market we can treat it like the produce that the cartels are stashing their supply in. Put a tariff on it, if the cartels don't pay the tariff confiscate and auction it to approved dispensaries, this will give additional revenue to the government not once but twice.

For 40 years we have lived with the control substance act our leaders are of the opinion that this is the right course of action, this opinion has continued to be a proven failure we have tried it their way now it's time they listen to the people and try a different way.
