Nah, the state already taxes drugs. Same thing. It also sells alcohol while taxing the ever loving crap out of it. Nobody's going to say the state is endorsing cigarettes, alcohol and gambling. They're minimizing harm through controlled, regulated and taxed distribution.

The thing is we've provided all sorts of ways for you to achieve your goal of not seeing zombies on the street without the cruelty. And yet you continue to try and find ways to invent problems. It seems like the cruelty of your suggestion may be the point?




You said it your self "without cruelty"

That's the entire problem, that's why most police forces can't enforce shit against drug dealers and addicts.

There is a balance, and currently its at the wrong side.
