Personally, I think we either really fight drugs, or legalize them and take away the criminal elements profit
motive. If we do that, we need to require more personal responsibility. If one commits a crime, the punishment is increased for having a gun, whether it was used or not. If one commits a traffic violation, it is dramatically more severe if drunk. If one commits a crime on drugs, rather than be a mitigating circumstance it should also increase the punishment. That would encourage personal responsibility for ones actions and help limit some of the negatives against legalizing drugs.
