Portugal and the Netherlands decriminalized drugs.

They have very low crime rates and less problems than the US.

We have OD deaths, a War on Brown People, and the same drug problem from the past 40 years.

Your anecdotal evidence of drugs ruling the streets if legalized?

One word: Prohibition

-e- Just another thought on this... If you legalized drugs, people wouldn't be taking the more harmful street versions of legalized stuff. Further, it could be regulated for safer levels with treatment as well.
