NO DECRIMINALIZATION

[Decriminalizing] recreational drugs does not improve the overall
well-being of the general population. While it may decrease crime
locally, the fiscal cost of such endeavours, not to mention the
psychological price, will ultimately be borne by the taxpayers.

How can the government keep kids off drugs while promoting policies
that encourage that very activity? How can we, as parents, expect our
children to stick to their values and respect the law when the two are
directly opposed?
