I say legalize everything, as long as all welfare programs are eliminated. 

 

Don't work, don't eat. 

 

No money for Narcan? See ya!

 Have you been in some US cities like Philadelphia where the zombies walk? Or rural towns in in West Virginia and Kentucky ravaged by Hillbilly Heroin? Druggies rob and steal and kill to get their fix.

Have to repurpose "snifters" I reckon

Problems with coke are you think you're clever when you're not; that you have some idea worth listening to when it isn't; you can't stop til your supply is all up your nose & it's like each new snort is just enough to get you a bit up, but still below starting point... like going down stairs....

Cocaine is a deadly addictive drug. The people  laughing off the legalization are not prepared for the tens of thosuands of zombies  that would be created.

Turn reefer madness of, its 2025 not 1955.

Cocaine, just like alcohol can be taken by many without getting addicted. But just like alcoholics, many succumb to addiction..

The problem I can see is, if they legalise cocaine, criminal gangs would have almost unfettered  access to the main ingredient for making crack, which is far more addictive and dangerous, and other such manufactured cocktails.

Then it could be sold like weed - Your very argument against it, looked at from another angle is an argument for it. It would eliminate the ILlegal tag which in turn, would eliminate the "Criminal" aspect, and by association, reduces "Crime" and generates revenue for the states.

Focus law enforcement on the crack only and they'll (the gangs) realize they don't need to make crack and can still make big bucks.

 

On Topic Only: He's the president. He doesn't need another country's permission to legalize it. Could turn it into a thriving tourist business opportunity. Much less messy than killing and kidnapping.
