Alcohol is made legal and the funding for gangs dies and shortly after the gangs also die. [/B]

I totally agree, I don't need a nanny government, and your piont about alcohol and tobacco is correct (this as I sit with a beer and a smoke).
However, I think you need to seperate addictive drugs, from non-addictive drugs. Things like pot and LSD and many other drugs only effect the user. Addictions on the other hand need to be fed no matter how. So I think legallizing all drugs might not be the answer, but I'm not totally against the thought.
