    Legalize and regulate.

    Alcohol use is a big problem, but during prohibition people were going blind from bathtub gin, even before the feds would poison it and leave it in circulation.

      Not sure who downvoted you without adding anything to the discussion (coward). I think legalization is the best path forward, for both humanitarian and financial reasons. Legalize and tax the shit out of it. Use the taxes to fund education and rehabilitation.

        and regulate it. One thing that annoys me of the current state of weed, booze, gambling, strip joints, etc is the advertising. I wish they had restricted advertising for the establishments to the establishments and regulated the words and signs of signage. I don’t want to put people in prison for the stuff but I don’t want my environment to look like vegas. Its like the politicians don’t realize regulation and sensible regulation (not about punishing folks but about reigning in the businesses) are part of legalization.
