The government knows that the buying and selling of illegal drugs has become a lucrative business. Why doesn’t our country just make those drugs legal to the public and use the money to benefit our education systems and police services. Six million dollars a year is brought in from drug dealing, and if it was legal, our country might make ten to fifteen million dollars a year. Making drugs legal might be the perfect solution to catching our economy before it falls. The government needs to realize how many positives could come from legalizing drugs.

 McDonalds should start to sell heroine shakes and Burger King could sell opium burgers. Nestle chocolate should make cocaine chocolate bars that could be sold for only three dollars in department stores. This would help our economy and aid companies to get rid of their debt. More coca plantations will be created, so the cost of drugs will become cheaper for many of the drug users. Making drugs available to the public will only increase the number of purchases and therefore provide our economy with more money.

This will help to put a halt on all the violence that comes with drug dealing. Drug dealers will no longer have to threaten and beat their customers for not paying money. People will no longer be robbing others to find money to feed their cravings. Movie stars will no longer have to sneak around and worry about law suits and magazine articles written about their drug obsession. Space in our jails can be freed because the charges having to do with drugs will be lifted. People will not have to fear cops and kids will no longer have to hide their addiction from their parents. In fact drug use can become a family bonding activity. Making drug use legal will lift the fear of getting caught and increase family bonding.

The amount of money made from drug rehabilitation centers will increase providing many more jobs for the homeless. Drugs will still ruin people’s lives and their immune systems so there will be many people looking to change their ways. How hard can it be for someone to lock another in a room until they no longer crave their drug? This way the homeless and the insane will have a way to make money and provide for themselves. Legalizing drugs will clear our streets of the homeless and make cities a better place.

All the money made from the selling of drugs can be used to fix problems we currently do not have enough money to improve. All of our schools will be able to fund enough money for sports and extracurricular activities. More teachers will be hired and therefore students will be part of smaller class sizes receiving more one on one teaching. Also, the police department will have funding to hire more officers and squat cars. With more police officers on patrol, our entire country will become a safer place, and they can focus on real problems such as murder instead of dealing with drug abuse.

Legalizing drugs will all around make our world a better place. We will have nearly ten million dollars a year to spend on our education systems and police forces. Violence will be put to an end and many robberies will be prevented. Jobs will be made for the homeless that were not available before and people no longer have to fear going to jail for doing what they love. With our economy in a desperate time of need, it seems like the governments duty to do whatever they can to help.
