The flaw in imposing such a ludicrously high tax is that by nearly doubling the consumer cost, you’re not guaranteeing that it will eliminate criminal behavior as a means to aquire drugs. All a 75% tax would do is de-criminalize drug use for the financially advantaged. The financially dis-advantaged however, could most likely still resort to criminal action as a means to aquire drugs. If gangs and cartels are the underground businesses of the world, dealing with impoverished or otherwise financially disadvantaged peoples, the need to aquire drugs at even cheaper-than-legal prices would still exist. Just because we have Blockbuster and Netflix, doesn’t mean the guy who sells bootleg DVDs out of his van, and all of his clientele, cease to exist.

History has given us all the lessons we should require on this subject. The criminalization of alcohol created the highest crime and murder rates known to this country until the cartels and gangs made addictive commodities their stock in trade. Now with our National Security threatened by the liquidity of such commodities and the attraction of terrorists to such revenue streams, the war on drugs must be ended to prevent inadvertently aiding the terrorist war against western civilization. It is time to control the commodities and the proceeds in the only manner possible. By legalizing the sale and distribution of these commodities through state controlled and federally monitored retailers and taxing these commodities beyond their cost of production, delivery and distribution at least 75% of their current regional street value.

That’s some pretty weird animals! I had no idea that you liked all that kind of music. Cool!
Maybe you can help me set up a web page &/or blog.
The sun is shining, the wind is blowing…sounds of music and love are in my ears. Drift away on the breeze and come to me…together we will be. Sing the song of your dreams and send it to the world for all to hear. The song of freedom and peace, love and forgiveness…it must be here.
