Yes, absolutely. The war on.Drugs has accomplished nothing ( especially when talking about cocaine) but allow a very lucrative market for violent psychopaths ( cartels) and desperate violent hooligans( street gangs) to become wealthy and find a highly profitable system that encourages and rewards their violent and psychopathic ways. To that effect it has done very little to curb availability and done absolutely nothing in terms of demand or use and has only served to exponentially increase the dangers of it and associated criminality.
We are much safer and protected with legalization and regulation than with prohibition. Alcohol Prohibition has proven this. As have all the current trends of cocaine use and distribution. There really isn't any logically sound argument in favor of keeping it illegal given our historical.records of prohibition the world over. Throughout.history and the world it has always made a problem a much worse one. Now ask yourself " for what?", because it is unsettling to many of us and addiction is icky? Sorry but those aren't good enough reasons to call validation if we are to logical and reasonable in order to improve things in society.
It also makes it harder for addicts to.seek help and removes any possibility of harm reduction. Which should be the actual focus.
